Me too. I think people with wells are perhaps more acclimated to working
with water systems (I just overhauled mine). My former '76-Westy used to
have a musty smell, but a little bleach solution and a baking soda rinse
fixed it right up. I don't leave water in there between trips (I keep a few
of those Coast Guard approved mylar water rations for emergencies. )
