"Don't drink the water"
This is often a phase you will hear if you are traveling into Mexico. The water you put in your RV is really important every where, not just in Mexico. RV Parks get water from cities, private wells, and who knows where. First you need to use a drinking water safe hose. They are usually white, and shouldn't be used for anything else. Common green garden hoses were not designed for drinking water and can transfer chemicals and contaminants to your tank or RV water system.
It is also recommended that you use a filter. There are many different kinds and are subject to personal preference. We use a 2 canister filter system on our white hose coming into our motorhome that filters all the water, and then we have a separate filter for our kitchen sink for the water we drink. We also carry bottled water for drinking, as some areas water just tastes bad to us. RV travel should be safe and fun. We got our filter system from Ken and Paula at K & P Enterprises. They are extremely knowledgeable and carry all the filters you need. Like, us, they are full time RVers, but call them, and they can send you the right filters anywhere. Their number is 206 369-7724.
