Bleach in water fresh water tank
I heard from a friend,after you stored your fifth wheel for six months in storage you should put half a cup of bleach in the fresh water tank? Is this a good idea and why? Thanks in advance

After draining the bleach out of my fresh water tank, I would put a small bottle or white vinegar in the tank and fill with water and let set for 4 hours or over night. Then drain and refill with just water and drain again a couple of times. This will dilute any bleach residue left on the inside of the tank. If I'm de-winterizing, I will run the bleach through the lines from the fresh water tank (bypass hot water heater) to flush all the anit-freeze out of the supply lines. If I do that, I will also run the vinegar solution through the supply lines until the bleach smell is gone and then flush the lines with fresh water after rinsing the vinegar from the fresh water tank. Now your whole system is sanitized.
Enjoy your water!
Just pump the bleach water to all the faucets, showers, etc. Bleach is a highly effective sanitizer. Vinegar not very much, especially with the very, very low concentration you suggest. So just skip the vinegar step, and flush the bleach out with plain water.
