Water Filter
Anyone have any thoughts on how long water can sit in an under-sink filter between camping trips without becoming a health problem?

Unless you keep your AC running 24/7 between trips, it can get pretty warm inside. Many filters list a max. temp. which can easily be exceeded in the summer - check the specs. It's a pain, but the best thing would be to remove it and store it in the fridge. Just don't put it in the freezer. As mentioned, heat + moisture = bacterial growth. Some filters have KDF or silver in them, but this only kills bacteria on the surface of the filter cartridge, not inside it.
