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.

Hand Sanitizer, look at the label, kills 99.5% of bacteria -------except Covid19 is a virus. Asking a doctor about this that person could not answer the question! So what does hand sanitizer really do ?

Looking at Motorhomes in Melbourne, and just wondering if there is anyone that does pre-purchase inspections, for preference in the northern suburbs? I can book RACV for mechanical inspection but would like someone to have a look-over the non-mechanical set-up.
