One of the problems with water while traveling is the supply. Many
campgrounds/roadside water sources use untreated well water. Once something
gets inside that tank and the tank gets warmed from being in the vehicle it
becomes an awesome breeding ground for anything nasty that wants to grow.
Bleach and tank cleaning treatments will help to clean but that only helps
once. Also we have found over the years that even local water can cause us
to become sick. When we go out to eat my wife only gets bottled water and no
ice. Soda and coffee, tea, etc from restaurants all use local water.

For drinking water on the road we use bottled. In our RV we have a filter
that removes most anything that we use for the icemaker and the side tap at
the kitchen sink. Still the tank water is used mostly for cooking cleaning,
brushing teeth etc.

Subject: Onboard water supply?

. What is a correct procedure to clean the onboard water supply to the sink
faucet which I use as drinking water also. I came down with something as we
traveled through Ontario camping. I think I did this wrong. In fact I may
not have done anything with the water only filling it up trying to get out
of town, ugh!
Had to cut our planned trip short.
Is there a water filter that's recommended to use while using a camp ground
water supply?
