Sad day in Nebraska

We bring bottled water too, but most of the "Gallon" jugs have lids that will "Pop" off (once opened) easily and could get spilled, so we get the cases of bottled water (20 oz). However, I hate opening and pouring 3 - 4 bottles of water into my coffee pot, plus we end up with a gazillion partial bottles all over the camper with the famous statements "Who's is this?" or "Which one is Mine?" and everyone being afraid to catch that uber contagious disease from another family member, end up leaving them lying around. (I, however will dump clean/clear looking partial bottles in my coffee pot so as not to waste it. Not worry about the Lysteria or other diseases as I have an old style "Perc" kettle so it will be well boiled/killed)

This past year, I flushed and flushed and flushed and flushed my system even with bleach water. It got "better" but I could still taste the RV Anti-freeze. I guess I will know in a few months how well the "Blowing the lines" works and/or the "Mistakes" I may have made.

You should be fine blowing the lines out. I finally got past the coffee pot filling when I retired my Keurig to the camper. You should be safe from germs when you're perking as that high temp should kill em all.

I know what you mean about the bottles. We found using the snuggies helped. Each of had our own and kept them on the bottles until they were finished. It didn't "cure" the problem but it helped.

We've bought a Brita Pitcher to put in the camper, seems to work good so far. We have a gallon jug we use to pour the water from the filtered pitcher into and we also carry bottled water with us.

I may do just that. I used to sell water systems (I hated that job but I learned a lot) and Britta is actually very good with removing Dissolved solids and odors/taste.
