Apparently many people fell that the water in the TT water tanks is not safe .
We very seldom use campground water and fill before leaving home . Why do people feel that water in a clear plastic bottle is cleaner than water in a black plastic bottle-tank . Water should be stored away from sunlight . Why is a clear bottle that some person unknown to you and handled many times by strangers and transported at great expense by guys in a hurry be cleaner than water out of my 200 foot deep well ? One of the great mysteries of life .
For us it is a matter of effort vs return.
We sanitize before first use and usually not again until next spring. Of course, after flushing out the rv antifreeze from winterizing.
If we sanitized it before each trip or periodically, maybe.
Ours is definitely fine for exposure, like washing, showers, brushing teeth, etc. Butngiven we have some of the best spring water around, a way to carry it, and a super convenient place to put it on outside table, no need to ingest an unknown source/taste.
So for us it is less "no, it is unsafe" and more "why bother, we are already enjoying the best with almost no effort"
