Question Newbie checking in
I just purchased my motorhome less than a month ago and took my "Maiden Voyage" this last weekend. I am thrilled and excited about becoming a full time Rver but I still have so very much to learn. Any "newbie" tips will be greatly appreciated. I do know that I turned the faucets on for the first time and the odor was awful. I was connected to city water so I flushed out what I could and definitely didn't drink any of it. Any suggestions?

Welcome, glad to meet you!

Use Clorox to flush the entire water system. Check for advice.

Before you flush the system with bleach, make sur you drain the hot water tank.

It's good to see you joining in, I see you've already got the wise suggestions of sanitizing your water system.
