If your rig has an external tank fill port for adding fresh water to your water tank, add the recommended amount of bleach with a funnel to your fresh tank, and then fill with water the rest of the way until it's full. If your rig does not have an external gravity fill port for adding fresh water to your tank, there will be a tank fill valve somewhere on your rig. With that valve, you can add the proper amount of bleach to your empty hose connected to your water spigot on your house or where ever you are getting city water, connect it to your trailer's city water connection, and turn on your water source for city water, and then turn your tank fill valve to the fill position. You should have a vent near your fresh tank location, and when the tank is full, you should have water escaping the vent. Turn the fill valve back to normal. You can then disconnect your hose from your city water supply. Once that is done, turn on your pump, and open various faucets inside your rig until you smell chlorine and turn off the faucet, and do this with each one until all have had chlorine at the faucet. Leave the rig alone for whatever the recommended time is, normally 24 hours. Then, if you can find the fresh tank drain, usually underneath your rig at the fresh tank, and drain the fresh tank. Once that is done, fill the fresh tank with the fill valve like you did when adding the chlorine, until full. Then as before, turn off the city water, and run the pump, opening each faucet until the chlorine smell is gone, and you are ready to go.
