I've always wondered what everyone does regarding cooking and drinking water. When you stay at a campground that has water and electricity do you use the water that is connected to the campgrounds water supply for drinking and cooking? If so, do you use a filter? I'm assuming you don't fill your fresh water tank at your house and drive to your location. Or do you bring bottled water or one of those portable 5 gallon water jugs? We seem to do a little bit of both but we don't have a filter. I have found though that some campgrounds water tastes different than what I'm used to. The last campground we stayed at it affected the way the noodles tasted. Karen

If I run low while traveling I fill from most any trusted source although some water is better than other water. We also drink the water in the fresh water tank, I don't see any need to reinvent the wheel.

Not me - We bring our own... I have to bring my certain brand of water anyway to make my fresh ground Bean coffee. Having the same brand of water insures the same taste we both enjoy...We just wash dishes and take showers from our fresh water tank.Roy Ken

If it's taste then use bottled water...if it's safety add a filter snd assuming you've sanitized your system.

The majority of public campgrounds have water that has been tested and complies with health standards...there are times where odor & taste is there but safe to drink...yes it is....add a whole house water filter so all water coming into your camper has an added filtration to cut down on odor/taste & sediment

We always fill to the brim before we hit the road plus usually two 5 gallon jugs etc. We alays travel with full water. Why not.
