Fill the garden hose with the proper amount of bleach before you hook it to the camper.
Do the whole water system while you're at it.
1/4 cup for every 15 gallons, fill the tank, let the bleachy water runs through the water system (hot and cold) for a while then let it sit for a couple of hours.
Drain the tank and refill with fresh water. flush out the piping until you can't smell bleach at the faucets.
I put 2-1/2 cups of bleach in the tank by putting the bleach in a garden hose and then connecting it to the city water supply inlet. I used the pump in the camper to flush all lines including the hot water tank. I then filled the tank with fresh water and ran that through the lines as well. Then I dumped the fresh water tank again and filled to 1/4. I hope that cleans the tank and lines.
