At the height of this virus thingy, we had a sign on entrance roads into our town which warned that driving thru was allowed but stopping unless you were a local was banned. We have still got these signs, and we have had no covid cases in town. Our demographic, is 70% over 60 years of age So as a combined pos...

Hi all, I have a 139 litre water tank under the van. It has been sitting there a while. I will empty it out, but to clean it out, what do you do? I have been advised to use special tablets or just a bit of chlorine in the water plus a fresh wash out again. I intend to empty it after use in the future.
