How long do you store fresh water in tank?
How long do you store CITY fresh water in the fresh water tank before you get concerned?

In our previous coach I would drain the main tank every month or so (100 gal)..... just the remainder, it was never full.
Our new coach uses all water from the fresh water tank only. The shore water connection is only used for filling the fresh water tank. It also has an automatic water fill if I keep the shore hose connected (and turn on that feature). When the water level reaches 25%, it will fill to 75% and cut off. If we don't use the coach for 4-6 weeks or more, I'll empty and refill with fresh water.
One plus with this set-up is that our water pressure is not dependent on the RV parks water pressure. We always have an even flow of water from our pump and it keeps the fresh tank water circulated from it's constant use. Our tank has a capacity of 189 gal.
Of course anyone can keep their fresh tank circulated by always using their fresh tank as their water source.
Safe travels.
