Here's a semi-non endurance related Question. How does one keep the water
in the (RV) Fresh water tanks clean and Drinkable? I have been told to
add a cup of white vinegar once in awhile and nothing else. I have been
happily Drinking the water out of the tank for Quite sometime, until in
July I came down with mild Stomach distress at a ride which developed
into Major Stomach distress on Monday following the ride. My riding
Partner also had some stomach distress, milder than mine and a few days
later, so I'm wondering if I just happened to get something, and passed it
on or < Here's the Question!!!> did my water make us sick?
I did talk to some folks at the most recent ride and asked if they
drank the water from their tanks- some said yes, most said no. We decided
not to drink the water from the tank that week and were without any tummy
troubles.
So, What to do? Any advise is appreciated.

Thirsting for Info.
