Moreover, it’s unsafe for you and your stuff, not to mention potentially hazardous to your wallet after the proverbial (and literal) smoke has cleared and something vital is kaput. Here’s how to keep your RV between the white lines – and not marooned along them.

RV Education – Take the Weekly Exam… But Don’t Drink the Water!
There are no guarantees that any water is completely safe for us to drink, but if we take certain precautions we can keep our RV water system safe to use. So where do we start?

Use the white non-toxic hose for hooking up to the water source and take along a green or black garden hose for all other uses like flushing out holding tanks or washing the RV. When you’re not using the drinking hose roll it up and connect the two ends together. This will keep dirt and other debris from getting in the hose. The next time you use the hose, run some water through it before hooking it up to the RV.
