yup, that includes any unused 'dead ends' such as the outdoor shower wand.

Heh. We left the outside shower off this time around. On our previous rigs, we literally never used it and I got tired of sanitizing it.

Another easily-overlooked place is the overflow vent on the fresh tank. Many vans have long plastic tubes here and they typically never get touched by bleach. They often look disgusting after a few seasons. It is important to over-fill the tank when sanitizing until water is forced out the vent.

Easy to do with a pressure fill system, my vent tube gets flushed every time I fill the tank.
