I think for your own enjoyment, use fresh water for drinks and cooking. You dont need so much as to be a problem. Milton will kill bacteria, but not necessarily get rid of the TCP taste for a long while. The taste might be a result of joint seal.

We noticed the horrible taste in our van when we got her, and so did our friends who have a Ranger.  We were told it was the new pipes and I just assumed that it was something you have to put up with.  I try and fill my kettle straight from the site tap, but half the time don't bother.  As the season goes on, we all seem to get used to the taste, don't notice it so much.

We always rinse our water system through with Milton after the winter, but don't leave it in there.

We have a bailey ranger and we clean the fresh water system through with puriclean at the start of each season. We dose the water as per the instructions, charge the system and then leave it in the system for between 12 & 24 hrs and then flush through with clean water.

I seem to remember that it says in the bailey manual or the puriclean instructions that any water filters should be removed whilst carrying out this process.

Had the same problem with our new Swift. After pipes cleaned with Puriclean TCP taste went.
