Safe water hose use and storage

[Scubawise]

As many noted above we feel secure with using water through our fresh water hose. In 10 years we have never become sick but I guess to each their own. We do a simple hose drain when breaking camp. I leave the male end attached to the RV water intake and I screw in a purchased dead-end plug to the female end. Works for us.

Good information thx

Little storage tip for the hoses: cheap oil drain pans from auto shop. Coil them up neatly and stackable.

I bought this to install under my rv between the wet bay and the propane tank.
Unneeded and ultimately unwanted, it lives in a shed awaiting the chance to be useful somewhere somehow.

But, if you're one of the folks who, usually without valid reason, hook to shore water every chance you get, I'd recommend one of these. They self store, they install easily and they take up otherwise unusable space.

Some had said that they avoid tap water and use safer bottled water, if so, when you eat out at restaurants do you ask them to wash your salad with bottled water?

Aware vs obsessed.

Vaguely interested vs consumed.

Caring vs Karen

Deduced vs induced

Innocuous consideration vs pernicious consideration

Doctorate thesis as supporting absolute fact vs doctorate thesis as absolute grant supported facts.

Most "RV bottled water drinkers" do not avoid tap water, they avoid water with unknown contamination levels in their RV FW tank. It may be fine. But just like when traveling to Mexico, vacation time is not the time to gamble on an intestinal interruption.

Your excellent and irrefutable parable will be ignored by those who must ignore it for their stance to stand.

Not having any imagination allows them to not have to imagine.

Oprha say,
Monkey do(and will guard their narrow view by using pitchforks and burning cars)

The bottled water thing is convenience based on what I'll say is a 100% reason for me and a 95% reason for others but you can't tell a fanatic about logical choice over media frenzy filler stories.(if you could no one would be a Cowboys fan)

And
While fear of mrsa and typhoid consumes some folks, those same folks must ignore the bpa scary stories if they consume bottled water(supposedly a standard bpa source).

So which is it:
1 caution across the board?
2 investment in one and ignorance of another?
3 a personal mental block so as to have a tingly talking point?
4 fear as a hobby?

Good info. Based on 5 years of postings here, we use our internal tank

Good response. Logically we use the filtered tank water with a Berkie..
