Two general questions, which I am sure have been discussed if I took the time to search for the answers... 1) What is the easiest way to sanitize the freshwater tank? Bleach and water mixture is r...

Awesome Discussion! Thanks for the responses!
Our typical usage is as follows:
* Purchased new TT 2014, never sanitized the tanks, and still have not.
* It sat winterized winter 2014.
* Spring 2015 de-winterized and used the camper every weekend over summer 2015.
* Camper sits idle during the week.
* Winterized (antifreeze) winter 2015.
* Dewinterize spring 2016, have used it 4 weekends so far (sits during the week).
I have three tubes coming out the bottom for the freshwater tank, the hot water heater, and some other cold water tank. I remove the plugs for all three after every trip and keep the plug off while it sits during the week. Should I re-plug so bees and flies don't go in there??? (I never thought about that till now).
When going somewhere without water, i fill the FW tank completely, run the water pump to fill the HWheater as well. Go camp! Life is good!
I dump the Black and Grey tanks after every trip and drain all the water tanks after every trip. Is this best practice? My water at the house is City, and when connected to water at campgrounds it is normally city as well. I am concerned about water sitting during the week simply due to the fact water is room temperature and bacteria does grow.
I will not worry about the sensors in the black tank for now, I will take a glance down the hole when flushing.
Thanks again for the insite!
