I am a little late on this, but have been away from my computer. I 
disagree with draining the fresh water tank. I do just the opposite. 
When I get home I fill the tank back up,not drain it. This saves 
water and I have found that a full tank of water will stay fresh. I 
have been told that bacteria can grow in an empty tank. I have been 
doing this for several years now and it works for me. Another reason 
for doing this is when you get ready to leave  on your next outing, 
this is one thing you don't have to do. I had always drained my tank 
too and I found that when I used it the next time,if it set a while, 
the tank give the water a funky taste. Now I do not have this 
problem. Another thing we do, is keep socks, under wear, and a 
couple changes of clothes in the trailer. This also saves time when 
preparing for another outing. Have fun and enjoy your Airstream.
