This is even though I drain it after each trip and have run a cleaner through it.

What cleaner did you use?
Try HUTCH's santization instructions:
Quote:
14. Fill Fresh Water Tank with water bleach mixture.
Mixture should be ¼ bleach for each 15 gallons of water.
a. I Mix 1 cup of bleach with a few gallons of water in a 5 gallon water container.
b. Poor the Bleach – Water mixture into your Fresh Water Tank.
c. Fill the Fresh Water Tank up with water – using a hose.
15. Run Water-Bleach mixture through Water Lines to purge remaining anti-freeze by:
DO THIS WHILE THE HOT WATER TANK IS STILL BYPASSED so you don’t put anti-freeze into the hot water tank.
a. Turn pump on and wait for it to stop.
b. Once it has stopped open up each Faucet both Hot and Cold to purge remaining anti-freeze is drained out and until you start detecting the smell of bleach.
DO THIS FOR ALL FAUCETS BOTH HOT AND COLD, including exterior shower (if you have one)
16. Run Water-Bleach mixture into the Hot Water Tank.
a. TURN PUMP OFF.
b. Re-Set Hot Water Tank By-Pass (so that Hot Water Tank IS NOT being bypassed).
c. Turn pump on and wait for it to stop.
The pump will run for a while because it’s filling up the Hot Water Tank.
d. Once it has stopped open up each Faucet; both Hot and Cold to purge all air out of the lines.
DO THIS FOR ALL FAUCETS BOTH HOT AND COLD, including exterior shower (if you have one)
17. Let Bleach-Water Mixture sit for a few hours.
This will sanitize the full water system.
18. After a few hours (2-3 hours), drain the water system, hot water tank, and fresh water tank.
19. Fill fresh water tank with a Water-Baking Soda Mixture.
a. I use about 2 cups of Baking Soda mixed with a few gallons of water.
b. Poor Water-Baking Soda Mixture into Fresh Water Tank
c. Fill the Fresh Water Tank at least ½ full with water – using a hose.
20. Run Water-Baking Soda through Water Lines and Hot Water Tank by :
a. Turn pump on and wait for it to stop.
The pump will run for a while because it’s filling up the Hot Water Tank.
b. Once it has stopped open up each Faucet both Hot and Cold to purge remaining water-bleach mixture and until you NO LONGER are detecting the smell of bleach.
DO THIS FOR ALL FAUCETS BOTH HOT AND COLD, including exterior shower (if you have one)
21. Allow Water-Baking Soda Mixture to sit overnight.
This will remove the bleach smell from the water lines.
22. The next day drain the water system, hot water tank, and fresh water tank.
23. Run water through the system via the City Water Connect.
a. Allow Hot Water Tank to fill-up with water, then
b. Open each faucet to purge water-baking soda mixture.

These instructions are from a full dewinterizing list:

I do this at least twice a year, when we dewinterize, usually mid season, and more if we catch a nasty campground water supply.
