Do you need to sanitize a water tank that's never been used?

Hi guys I've seen videos online about sanitizing your fresh water tank in a travel trailer using a little bleach and water. Is this necessary if your fresh water tank has never once been used? I do no...

Absolutely! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Filling it and dumping will get the dust etc. out. Adding bleach is easy. Run the bleach water through the water lines too.
