Generally before every trip Peter, especially during the summer when after draining the system following a trip, you will still always have some moisture in the pipes, which in the warmer weather can go stagnent in the pipes in a few days.

You dont want to look forward to a holiday for ages, only to go down with a bit of gut rot when drinking water from your van.

I normally give the system a good clean with a stronger solution at the beguining of the season, then a weak solution throughout the year between trips.  A tub normally lasts a season.

A few campers I know dont drink water from the caravan system, prefering run a seperate bottle in the van for drinking, and then just use the water from your barrel for washing hands etc.

I change the filter on the water system every year aswell, though some leave this for longer.

 Hi

 a couple of suggestions for caravaning must haves are 1 = a good bottle of wine & glasses, to celebrate going from tent to caravan & a bit more comfort,

 2= more money to fuel the car, owing to less MPG
