We do some dry camping each year - ie away from any type of hook ups
and out in the boonies. I fill up my water tanks (I think it's 40 gallons)

we are limited by how much water we can take with us - 4 days is about the max
when we have had to search out more water. Use the water sparingly - no prolonged showers, clean dishes quickly, don't run the water when brushing teeth.......
If we run out of water, we use the milk jugs and a 5 gallon container to replenish the tanks - out east, you can always find water either a spigot or a flowing stream. But after 4 days, we usually like to move anyways.
I have a 150W solar panel which keeps the batteries topped up
