My 06 owner's manual says I should sanitize the fresh system annually which I am about to do for 09. When reviewing the instructions I noticed this:
"Water should be drained from the fresh water system when not in use for more than 1 week."

Opps. That sounds like I should have the tank empty most of the time except on travel days (for the toliet or boondocking).

What is the correct way to do this so the water is safe for consumption?

Thanks to all,
Gene
Gene, I believe the owner's manual expresses what to do with the rig when it is primarily used for vacationing, weekends, and such. If living in it full time then things change. We've been living in ours full time for over eight years now and I haven't drained the fresh water tank since we took it out of storage in November 2000 and filled it. We continually use water out of the tank periodically just so we can fill it again. We keep it full. There have been times when we've been parked in a CG and they've turned off the water for 3 - 4 days and we weren't inconvenienced a bit.
