If the filter is not used for a while and is still wet on the inside will it go bad from lack of use between trips?

Why not just hook it up to your hose and run fresh water through it before you hook up to your RV? For instance when you first use a Pur water filter you have to run water through it for several minutes to clean out the charcoal residue.

Will this eliminate theplastic taste from my new hose?

It worked for me. You'll get the best results when the filter is installed on the camper side of the hose, rather than the spigot side. Another commenter stated doubt that the filter does anything at all. Last summer I moved to a town with the most disgusting smelling water I've ever encountered - like really strong waterbed chemicals plus the inside of a hot dumpster. The smell even lingered in my clean, dried and fabric softenered laundry. Idk how the people of the town weren't rioting over it. This filter immediately and completely removed all the unpleasantness. It must be doing at least some of what it claims! If I'd stayed there longer than 4 months, I absolutely would have figured out how to install this filter at the washing machine in the main house. If there's a chance you'll ever be staying in Fairland, Oklahoma, do yourself a favor and keep one of these filters on hand.

How is this installed? Is it installed inside the RV "permanently" or is it used at the the end of the garden hose only when filling the RV?

No it is installed outside at the tap then your hose. Reminder when you first use it a burst of black stuff will come out that is charcoal and its temporary. This is a temporary filter when it gets dirty its a throw away.I love it so much better than a permanent one which you have to fiddle with under a sink.

How long does this filter last?

We have very hard water here, and the filter lasts 4-6 months with full-time use for one person; the time of changing the filter varies with my work schedule and time of year (more showers in the heat of southern California; cooking more at home when I am not working); I tend to change it more often than most (every three to four months) because I am a full-time RV'er and do not want the challenge of replacing mineral-clogged hoses in my RV. The filter I am using now has been in operation six months...thanks for the reminder to change it!!
