Is Your RV's Fresh Water Really Fresh?

Caring for your Camper or Recreational Vehicles fresh water system is simple and easy when you know how. This article deals with the pie you should use for your RV's fresh water.

First, use a white non-toxic drinking hose.

Hoses not labeled safe for drinking contribute to lead and other dangerous chemicals getting in the water. Use the white non-toxic hose for hooking up to the water source and take along a green or black garden hose for all other uses like flushing out holding tanks or washing the RV. When you're not using the drinking hose, roll it up and connect the two ends together. This will keep dirt and other debris from getting in the hose. The next time you use it, run some water through it before hooking it up to the RV.
