Fresh Water Tank--do you empty it?
I sometimes camp where there are hookups for water, and sometimes not. When I do fill it I never end up using nearly all the water. I wonder whether I should empty it after this or just leav...

We never left water in the tank until a longer trip a few years ago. When we got home we never thought about it and in about 2 or 3 weeks started noticing a funky odor. Finally traced it down to the water left in the tank. I know very few have had this issue, but it meant resanitizing again. We always camp with water/electric for sure and FHU if possible. We do travel with just a minimal amount in the tank for bathroom/hand washing and we have a small amount left in that if we're in Rocky here at home we have a bit if needed. It's usually empty by the time we get out again and just put that minimal amount in it again. Agree that at 8.3# per gallon, we don't need to haul around that extra weight. At the CGs we use their water exclusively with our inline filter and a PUR faucet mount for drinking. No problems.
