water

While I genrally keep my drinking water separate, I aways keep my system in shape so I can drink that water when (not if!) I don't bring enough (or any) water in my jerry cans. I fill a jug from my jerry cans, the rest of my liquid refreshement is in the fridge.

i've included a link to a great article that explains the plumbing system in an rv. also check some of the other articles out too, a couple of good electrical introductions.

I don't know about all states but in the state of N.C. if the RV park dose not use a city water source it must have the water tested by an outside vendor weekly.

so, I don't want to drink water from the tank in my '74, but can I drink it when I am connected with a hose? Pam

Yes, provided the water hose is connected to a trusted source, and the pump does not run.
