Sanitizing fresh water tank in 31 Precept

[Chappy2351]

I have a 2016 Precept, 31 UL, read manual on sanitizing water tank, but completely useless.
Would someone be kind enough to share the steps that they used in order to sanitize the tank.

Thanking you in advance.

Here's a quick easy way to sanitize your 71 gallon 31UL tank. In fact, I just sanitized the tank on my 2015 Precept 29UM on Saturday.....and had to replace both deep cycle batteries since they were already junk.

Open up your water filter and remove the filter.
Fill the now empty filter housing with 1&1/2 cup of bleach
Set the water valves to "City Fill Tank"....I believe it is 1 & 6?
Fill the tank until the water starts running out of the overflow.
Switch water valves back to Normal 3 &5.
Run water in all of your cold lines until you can smell the faint scent of bleach
Let sit for 2 to 4 hours. Go for a drive for even better action.
Empty tank completely.
Replace the water filter.
Switch water valves to City Fill Tank.
Fill the tank back up.
Switch water valves back to Normal 3 & 5.
Run water in your cold water lines for a few moments to clear out bleach.
Good to go!

Sitting in a CG and planning to sanitize soon, anyone run into trouble dumping 71 gallons of water in their site?

I sanitize while I am at home and have plenty of time. After I fill the lines, I top off the tank. I then usually let the bleach water sit overnight. The next day I flush the system really well.

should be no issue, I do this at home, and it has never killed the grass. My only concern would be the grade of the campsite, as it could be muddy, draining the tank via the low point drain.
