Just a comment regarding fresh water tanks :
I've been RVing since the early 90's with several different RV's types. In general here is how I use the internal water tanks when traveling (not when parked on city water)
a) I never use the fresh water tank for cooking or drinking or brushing teeth
b) I DO use the fresh water tank for washing dishes, showers, general wash basin uses, toilet, etc
c) I keep the tank about 1/4 or less filled when stationary in RV park, more if needed when traveling.
d) I put about a cap full of bleach when adding water to the tank to keep water from going rancid
e) I do all my cooking and drinking with bottled water
Just me personally, has worked well for me over the years. I don't like leaving a tank dry / empty, things dry up and crack, etc. Never had any problems with the tanks using these methods...
