One downside to moving your house to so many different locations can be the varied and unknown quality of the water available. Many RVs have a rust, scale and sediment filter for all incoming water, plus a charcoal (carbon) filter at the sink and/or ice maker. These all require periodic replacement.
Filtering the main incoming water line for rust and sediment is a good idea, but only a charcoal filter will provide any improvement in the taste. If you have a water dispenser at your sink, or an ice maker, it's quite likely there's a charcoal filter in the supply line.
As charcoal filters also remove chlorine, we avoid using one on the main water inlet, since we want some base level of chlorine in our fresh water tank to help protect the water in the tank (see our video about periodically sanitizing the fresh water tank here).
You can find these filters on Amazon:
5-micron whole-house filter.
Flow-Pur filter #3 (threaded, like ours)
Flow-Pur filter #2 (clip-on type)
(Be SURE to buy the correct one for your RV... threaded, clip-on, etc).
We don't pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But many systems are the same on different RVs. The advice we give works well for us, but be sure to consult a professional technician if you're unsure about working on your own RV.
