The paranoia about water purity runs rampant. The RV water system is perfectly fine and safe to use for drinking if correctly maintained.
I agree completely. The problem is that many are not maintained correctly.
And any time you introduce water from any source you are taking the chance of contaminating the system. I know here in PA many campground owners hands are tied by DEP. The costs associated with permits and installing a new sewage tank are prohibitive to the small parks. So they rely on the old systems installed many years ago. Eventually the systems leak and the possibility of contaminated drinking water increases.
So unless you are running all water going into you RV through a UV light system you stand a chance of contaminating your RV system.
I just find it easier and take comfort in knowing what we are drinking by bringing along a few gallons of drinking water.
