THOR #3975
Water hose, filter, etc, stored, now corroded

Hello, all. Here's a weird one. We haven't used the RV (Thor Siesta 24ft class C) in a while. I have a bucket with all my drinking water tools: camco water filter, zero-g hose, short camco strain relief hoses, shutoff valve, pressure control valve... I think that's it.

Getting ready for a 3-4 day trip, I drained the RV water, and got out my water bucket. When I opened it, I found an inch or two of water, some white crud (a technical term) on various parts, some corrosion on various metal parts - I think that's about it. I destroyed the evidence - I mean, I cleaned everything - but I am hesitant to ignore this. I will attempt to add some photos.

I will probably trash all this stuff - but the question is: what is the white stuff, what caused the corrosion, and how do I avoid this going forward - besides doing a better job of putting it all away?

Thanks
Dan
