direstraits: RE: [AllAboutRVing] About water...

Years ago I had an RO system in my house---yes it was in Texas and I
absolutely could no drink the water. When I decided to go full time, I had
it installed in the basement below the kitchen sink and had the plumbing
installed to the sink. Unfortunately, when I traded Motor homes, the there
was no place in the new one for it. I surely did miss it. It is something
for you to consider. Because of the taste of water in many places, we
nearly always just drink bottled water. It is a hassle, but otherwise, I
just don't drink it but know that I need to.

I'll never forget Killene, Texas...that how you spell it...We were
stationed there in the 50's . . .

Yes, lots of water in Texas does not have a good taste. Many times it is
very "hard" -- lots of minerals. Of course, we who grew up here have really
strong teeth (lots of natural flouride), but we also have brown stains on
our teeth from the minerals. Thank goodness for bonding or porcelains!

Because we don't care for the taste of our city water, we have an RO machine
attached to our home ice maker and a gooseneck faucet at the sink. When we
are getting ready for a trip, we have some 2.5 gallon jugs and 8 or 10
one-gallon jugs. We begin filling them with RO water a few days before we
leave and take our water with us. If we happen to stop at a place that has
really good local water, THEN we fill our fresh water tanks with THEIR
water.
