Foamy water n chemical Odor out of sink faucet

Has anybody experienced a problem with foamy bubbly water and chemical smell in the water coming out of their rv kitchen or bathroom faucets? We r hooked up to city water at our friends house… And they are not experiencing any problems with their water in their house . We r not using our freshwater tank.

We r full time rvers.

We often get foamy or bubbling water when we first take the unit out of storage. I just let the faucet run for a couple of minutes and it clears up. We are using a using a charcoal filter between the freshwater spigot and the RV. You have to let it run a few minutes or the water will look almost gray. This is covered in the instructions with the filter. No issue with chemical smell. I have heard of a skunky smell if water sits too long in the water heater. On most models that's a 12-gallon flush.

If you have a washer hook up, don't forget to flush those pipes too. Unused, the water will go stale.
I put in shut off valves in the basement to those pipes so I don't have to winterize them or flush them.
