We've had several posts with questions on this subject this week.
Many solutions have been brought up by various members. I just wanted to share something I just found in a magazine on this subject. For those of us who have manual water-tank filler openings (as well as the "city" hook-up), here is a much better method of pouring bleach or other products into the fresh water tank for sanitizing. We've had comments about pouring solutions into the water hose; pouring solutions through funnels (which are usually not long enough to keep you from spilling), etc. This sounds better to me.
You get a half-litre water bottle from your recycle bin. Use a razor blade knife and cut a section out of the side of the bottle.
The neck of the bottle then fits the water-fill opening, and the side opening allows you to pour a measured amount of bleach (or other solution) into the bottle, which, when slightly tipped, flows into the tank without spilling a drop. You can then fill your tank and start the drain/fill process to sanitize it.
This seems like a great solution to our problem. It comes from Danny Lindstrom as published in "Motorhome Magazine."
