Soft or hard water to fill up the tank?
I read some conflicting reports and always find tons of sale pitching about water processing. So I have water softener in my house and it is great for showers, leave not much water marks and so on. ...

Hard water has minerals in it "most" of the time, and is "usually" found in ground / well water.
With time those minerals will clog up your metals pipes / fittings and start to eat any metal parts it comes in contact with.
Now this won't happpen over night, but it will slowly start to screw up the metal pipes and anything else the water comes in contact with, mostly metal.
However if a bunch of the scale breaks off from a metal pieces it can and will clog smaller water lines like you find in a fridge or water cooler.
Just ask any steam engineer what the water treatment plant is for in a steam plant? The main reason and main purpose is to soften / clean the water used in the boilers.
Little different application for your house or RV but that's what will happen in time if you don't soften your water.
We are lucky where we live we are on river water and do t have those issues, we have other issues that we deal with.
