Dave, if you go to Goshen, you will be filtering Rust. Different part of the country that what Sue is talking about, (wow Sue that is a LOT of white stuff, how long to accumulate that??)

Anyone that has camped in Bremen, Indiana will tell you how bad the rust is, many of us were using 2 filters. Some of us could not wash our hair as it would discolor it. The laundry at the campground has warnings that your white clothes will be discolored.

So, as with everything in this sport, it all has to do with where you are and the conditions. Another example, the water in the RGV, having stayed at 3 parks, is not particularly rusty or loaded with that white stuff that Sue is talking about, but is very hard. We felt it was even more hard in the Mission area over the Donna and Mercedes area. Our expensive but heavenly solution was the water softener.

Many of us find the water filters on the outside are sufficient, many use one to remove the minerals and rust and some add the one that has the charcoal for sweeter water. Al and I use distilled water for drinking. Cooking, dishes, dog washing, and people washing are done from the water that comes out of the faucets in Tana, no matter where she is parked. In most cases Al and I are happy with the mineral remover filter and the water softener (when set up for extended stays).
