If you are handy with piping, you can re-plumb your camper to pump directly from the lake into system, without filling up the tank.
I did that on my conversion when in Mexico campground supplied salty water, when I wanted to save water in the tank for better uses.
In bus storage bay I had one of those 4- outlets garden manifolds and series of short hoses that I could reroute between 2 tanks, pump and city water.
The campground water had poor pressure, so I plumb it to go via pump for boost.
Had no neighbors close by to complain about vacuum in water faucets ๐

That's why I drink good Polish vodka.
It is only 50%
No bacteria gurantee.
My father, being electrician in the past was playing with Mercury in palm of his hands, I in my younger years I was hacksawing asbestos and sucking (leaded) gasoline hose with my mouth.
But that doesn't mean we will live till 120
After our recent movement to Las Vegas - we have been told that the city has high ratio of death between cats and dogs >>> due to them drinking city water.
I am using one of those drip filters, what sure suppose to clear all the nasty stuff and I do have counter when to replace the cartridge.
But how do I really know the water comes at the end with no bacteria?
On my visit in Mexico I had bottled water from US, but one time bought ice at local place.
Was lying sick for 24 hr and took me 3 days to recover.

Here is my filter setup. I keep it in the basement drawer. I also made an adapter to plug into the 12v socket that lets me use a normal extension cord to place the filter array closer to the water source.

Thats snazzy. I like it. I can understand your water concerns. Last time I hunted in New Mexico for Mule Deer north of Rosewell and east of White Sands, our guide told us under no circumstances drink the raw water that was in the containment tanks that fed the cattle watering stations without using a Life Straw or some type of membrane filter. I just passed and carried bottled water. No way was I about to get Montezuma's Revenge. The lodge cooking (we had a Mexican chef) was wicked enough.
The ceramic filter should, in theory, pull most of the cysts and micro organisms out but you need to pull the filter after every use and clean and bleach it. That stuff multiplies if left on the filter.
I use our well water to fill my FW tank (it gets tested yearly by the health department and always passes but I add a bit of H2O2 to kill anything, just in case. Municipal water isn't available out here.
Would it be possible to add a list of suppliers where you sourced your components?
