First drain all of the water out of the system, and then close all of the drains.
Take ¼ cup of household bleach for every 15 gallons of water that your fresh water holding tank holds. Mix the bleach in one gallon of water and pour it into the fresh water tank. Fill the fresh water tank with potable water. Turn the water pump on and open all faucets, one at a time, and run water until you smell the bleach. If possible drive or tow the RV to assist in cleaning the entire holding tank. Let it sit for twelve hours and then drain the entire system. Refill the fresh water holding tank and run water through the system until you no longer smell the bleach. It may be necessary to repeat this more than once. When you no longer smell bleach the system is sanitized.
