Fresh Water Tank--do you empty it?
I sometimes camp where there are hookups for water, and sometimes not. When I do fill it I never end up using nearly all the water. I wonder whether I should empty it after this or just leav...

First off water never wears out. It is constantly being recycled. The next glass of water you draw may have bathed Cleopatra!!!
Look at water towers. They don't drain and refill every little bit.
I keep my tanks full at all times. Get home, dump the waste, refill the fresh. I have 2 campers so one of them may sit for a couple months between use.
Unless you are winterizing (blowing out the lines) each time you drain and refill for "fresh" you are just wasting your time and water. Those nasty bugs like a little water and lots of oxygen.
Which brings up questions for those that drain/refill frequently. Do you also drain the water heater? How many weeks does it stay full with an empty FW tank? You surely don't shower or brush your teeth in cold water!!
