Malcolm, you said,


<< Twice I have taken out my cabinets (from a 91 Westy) and each time my
"clear" hoses (going from the tank to the sink) are nearly BLACK.  I
replace them each time.  Granted, I do not "sanitize" my
Westy water supply. >>


   You could save yourself the effort of removing cabinets and replacing
hoses by using a bit o' bleach now and then.  When I first got the Westy,
I would fill the fresh water tank using a hose with an attached a
taste/odor filter that removed chlorine from the water only to discover
what a mistake it was!  My tank got an icky case of  algae pretty damn
quickly.  Now I sanitize once a year and religiously drain the tank after
every trip...no more problems with scummy water.  We use a Brita pitcher
to filter for odor and taste.
