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...

When I returned home to winter in March I blew the lines and added antifreeze, FW, GW and BW all drained. For a quick trip in late April with no CG water, I filled the FW about 1/3rd full. Drained it three days later and let the TT sit for about two months.
We are headed West in a couple of week for a month or so of travel, so I added ½ cup of bleach, filled the FW tank with about 35 gals. Let it sit for a few days, drained and added about 10 gals of fresh water.
I will drain and fill with fresh just before we leave. There is nothing difficult or mystical about this. This is all un-softened well water.
My biggest complaint is the hot water heater, it gets flushed every time I work with the water system but it stinks after a few days. I did not find an anode rod in this heater model. We bought the TT used so who knows when or how the hot water was used. Since its main use is for washing dished and hands; it is annoying but not a big deal.
I figured if the hot water gets really funky, I will let it cool,drain and flush with CG water as needed.
