Sanitizing is only required if you keep water in tank. We keep some water in the tank because of emergencies when power is out in RVP & they are on well water.

We've only done it once or twice in 3 years on the road. It requires a funnel to pour in standard Clorox bleach into the fresh water fill in the utility compartment. There is a "cup of bleach per X gals of water" formula, but can't recall what it is. Then run water from the tank through all your plumbing lines, toilet, both sinks, until you smell the bleach. Do it when you aren't using any water from the tank by leaving for the day or overnight. Or you can add it to your tank when you're moving the RV to the next place. Sloshing will help clean all sides of the tank.

Then Drain & refill as needed.

We've also done it on our stixnbrix well water. Got our original instructions from the County Health Dept.
