If you are wanting to sanitize the entire system, here is https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...itizing-system
As far as the black / gray tanks IMHO, almost any bleach / water ratio would be fine. I'm just not sure about leaving a high concentration in contach with the blade valve seals for a lextended period.Jerry and Kelly Powell, with Halo, Nash, Reid, Cleo, Rosie, and the two newest additions Shaggy and Bella..

As for the fresh water tank, yes, you will want to add bleach to do that. The standard ratio is 1/4 cup (2 oz) per 15 gallons of tank capacity, Usually, it's easier to handle if you mix the bleach with a few gallons of water before you try to pour it, or pump it in. And be sure you use bleach containing Sodium Hypochlorite, not the "non chlorine" bleach.
I hope this helps.

I don't think you need to 'sanitize' grey and black tanks. I would do us in products that help keep them clean along with the sensors in the tank.
We have just started putting the same product we us on our black tank into the grey tanks. Half a pack in each grey tank.Mike & Lisa

Google , T R Bowlin. He has a video about the Bio-Geo method of cleaning black tanks with Borax and Dawn liquid soap. Definitely worth watching and he uses Zep citric degreaser to clean gray tanks. Have used his method myself and it works.Barry & Karen
