I managed to find a Giardia a few years ago. It wasn't from a Colorado mountain stream or a RV fresh water tank. I choked and swallowed while starting a siphon to drain a pond in our back yard. Yes, I know it was stupid. Will I do it again? Probably.
I apparently was lucky as I had an upset stomach for a couple months, and was lactose intolerant for about 6 months, but was able to live pretty much normally (for me at least).

We have no storage tank, we take 2, 5 gallon, gas jugs that we use soley for water. It works perfectly and we never run out. When a place has good water we fill up. Also you can buy bottles of water to drink as well. Have fun!

Steve I am new to camping and I was planning on using a poly tank as well. I was planning on lifting the tank above the inflow pipe and using gravity as a pump. any comments, I have a F250 ford.
