We are new to travel trailers. We purchased a used one last fall and have it parked permanently in a campground. The water in both kitchen and bathroom smells musty. Is there a way to sanitize the water lines. If so, please enlighten me.

We never got into using the freshwater tanks water for cooking or consumtion. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with consuming the water on-board just never got into it is all... W only use it for washing up dishes and taking showers and squirting an ocassional squirrel with the outside shower hose...

We always bring bottled water along for drinking with us on camping trips... Being good fresh made bean coffee lovers requires using the same named bottled water all the time to get your favorite taste so we have bottled water for that already on hand.

From our Forum Help and Support there is a sticky thread called RV Net Tutorials and Picture Related FAQ's. Within that there is a thread about how to do this.
Is that enough "clickys"?
