Subject:Sanitizing water tank in Vanagon
From:Jack Reynaert

Well, my van has been in "winter storage" and getting ready for my first
camp-out this weekend.  I've always drained my water tank completely in the
fall to avoid freeze damage, and I leave the cap off.

Is it necessary to Sanitize the tank when I refill it in the spring?  I know
the standard procedure is to fill with water and ounce of bleach, let it sit
for a couple hours, drain it and refill with fresh "city water" as it
contains a safe level of chlorine.

So, what do most of you do?

Thanks!
