How long does fresh water stay "fresh"?

When we bought our new-to-us 2020 245RLS TT, we did the bleach/rinse/repeat to ensure that our fresh water tank was sanitized (April of this year). We filled all our tanks ahead of Hurricane (at the time) Elsa to add more weight in case of high winds. That was Tuesday.

We are boondocking next Wednesday/Thursday at a local Harvest Host. Should we drain and refill the water before we go, or will water quality be good for another week?

Thanks in advance! We are looking forward to our future boondocking adventures!

As long as you filled from a good clean source, it should be fine.

I suspect it would be just fine as others stated, however it isn't all that hard or very costly to go ahead and drain the tank and then refill it which is what I would do. If draining and refilling is a challenge then I wouldn't worry with it, and\or if you don't plan to drink the water anyway and instead only use it for other purposes. ~CA

It'll taste a bit flat but it'll be fine.
