    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Full time family ditches Airstream for a FWC.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2014 FWC Hawk - Water tastes like plastic....?

    I have a 2014 Hawk. The plastic taste only occurs when I use the white potable water hose as my water source, bypassing the holding tank. The plastic taste and smell comes from the hose in my situation. I need to explore other potable hose products.

    I get my Hawk 6/3 at FWC in Woodland. I got the side awning based from being around other rv's with an awning. I like the idea of having the shade or an outside venue for mealtimes. I'm an rv rookie for sure.
