Maybe I will start draining it. Planning or running a pressure washer set up anyways so that will drain it quick. Took about 45 minutes for it to drain out yesterday.

we do not drink from rv water tank, use plumber antifreeze in all lines and traps , for winter storage use a minimum of 1 gallon each for all tanks,
only drink bottled water, clean all tanks with bleach for added measure each spring.

Why do you add antifreeze to your tanks? Are they not empty?

Why the heck would any one put rv antifreeze in there water tank? You do realize there's a line that you stick in the jug to fill the lines!

I drink the water from my RV as much as I can and rarely sterilize because I want to keep my stomach strong and used to ingesting bacteria. The only way to live a long life in our sterile world. I do however choose the water source wisely.

Those are mostly on 5th wheels, but I'd still break the rules years after years my tank is good she gets sloshed around all year.

The first time I did my motorhome I did that. I learned about the water pump later. In my new toy hauler there is a manual from the manufacturer and in there they state to dump a/f into the water tank and then fill the lines until it comes out of the drains. Took me an hour to find the pump and put the inlet line on. Not that easy of access.
