Fresh water tank

I was planning on taking our 2920bh out here for an extended Memorial Day weekend. The campground we are going to only has electric so I will have to use the fresh water tank which means this water will be sitting as many as 5 days. What, if anything, should I do to keep the water safe? Is it is easy as getting those tablets you drop in the tank?

Thanks in advance.

IMO, once the fresh water tank has been sanitized you shouldn't need to do anything to keep the water you add to it safe. That of course assumes you're adding good (potable) water from your home or other source of clean drinking water.

I would say 5 days no problem. Do you have a method to refill if you run out?

I'm sure the water will be fine all season as long as you sanitized after long period of non-useage. Also of water source to fill tank is treated (city water with chlorine) you will be fine. Not a bad idea to drain tank between trips and fill with fresh water each trip. If Inn doubt, use bottles water for drinking.
