Hello, Rookie RVer :C here! Can you provide any “good to know” tips, about storing fresh water in tank? I just installed a double water filter on “MidLife” (Winnebago Vista 30B) and its made a world ...

I think there are multiple factors:
1. The water quality. Is it chlorinated? Is ita bit icky right from the source?
2. How big of a tank.
3. How often do you go out. Are you going out year round? Or does it sits for months between trips? Are you doing a couple 3+ week trips a year or weekend trips every couple weeks?
4. Where the camper is stored. Is it kept at home and you spend time in it when not camping? Are you always tinkering with it and the water comes in handy? Or does it get put away and ignored until the next trip?
If not draining it means the water sits unmoved for months at a time, then I would drain. If I had to fill at an RV park and the water is not as good as my water at home, I'd drain it. Otherwise, I'd just top off between trips and not worry.
