I've been in my 2000 Holilday Rambler full time, semi-permanent for a week or two now. I did intro in the general intro thread. I am gradually ironing out that steep learning curve, and am beginning to look more closely at day to day maintaining, preparations for winter or "just in case" things, and all the little nuances. And by the way, I am very much liking the "feel" of being here in the RV. Nice efficient use of space, cozy and cumfy for me and my cat.
Now for my current question that I've tried the search function to resolve with no avail. I hope it is in the correct thread.
I've even googled and found that the best way to sanitize/flush the fresh water holding tank is with 1/2 cup of bleach into one gallon water. Pour into the fresh water tank, finish filling the tank, then run the faucets till i smell the bleach. But, this seems like a flush for use. I mean to say, for example, I'd do this just before I decide to uproot from my spot and take a boondocking trip.
What I want to do is flush it out and fill it up not for immediate use, but for emergency use. If I'd like to keep it full as a potable emergency source of water would I do anything different from the above? If not, how often should I flush out the tank?
