tested the blue camco filter with a TDS meter
I ran about 150 gallons through the filter and then checked the total dissolved solids. Garden Hose: 94, 97, 100, 98 Camco filter: 98, 104 Reverse Osmosis: 23

For potable water I plan on installing an RO with PH balancing stage. The PH adds calcium and Mg back into the water - since RO strips out everything.
Excellent idea. I just started using this "remineralizer".

I plan on installing the RO in a bin rather than under the sink and run the lines for supply. I have not pinned down what I will do with the wastewater. The units I buy are 1:5 waste water to filtered. Normally in a house the wastewater goes down the drain. In an RV I may capture it and recycle it or just let it drip on the ground. Happy to hear from anyone who's handled this.
I suggest under-the-sink unless it's impractical.
I run my RO waste water back into my water tank. Zero waste.

Some - if not most of you - probably think it's way overkill.
Hardly. Here's my water filtration system:
A = Watts pressure regulator + separate back flow preventer.
B = Big Blue 5-micron sediment filter. Why 5-micron? Because that's the smallest recommended size that can be cleaned over and over.
C = Big Blue carbon block filter.
D = Water softener.
E = Water flow meter (for the UV filter).
F = 8 GPM UV filter.
