water lines in the winter bad tatste
Over the years i have used Rv antifreeze but it as seems to have left a bad taste in the water lines and a lite smell. Is this normal?? So we carry bottle water to drink. Any comments would be welco...

Personally I don't trust the water tank for drinking water unless it's been boiled. I've not gotten the chance to open my Bigfoot water tank compartment from the bottom but I have worked on the top where the water inlet goes into the tank and I can see plenty of mold growing inside the tubing. Trying to clean it out seems near impossible as mold tends to just stick to surfaces extremely well no matter what is flushed down it.
As much as I hate the added waste (little kids are the worse for finishing!), we bring a case of bottled water with us and keep the fridge stocked as necessary. I suppose if I was full timing I'd go through the effort to really clean the tanks or install a filter on the tap as buying bottled water isn't cost effective long term.
On anecdotal evidence, I don't know if what grows inside of a tank is necessarily bad for consumption by humans to begin with. I certainly wouldn't make a habit of it but before we were city dewlling, kale eating, herbivours we once ate red meat and drank the water from the local creeks without worrying about what the deer upstream just did in it. Again, wouldn't make a habit of it but I think only on the very rare instance will it actually kill you.
