I don't know what you mean by lots of water. I am limited with a 30 gallon FW tank. On rare occasions I also fill one or two 5 gallon folding jugs.
I also almost always use "real" dishes. I can still do my cooking and kitchen clean up with about 1 gallon/day. My 3 gallon use is pretty evenly spread with a gallon each for showering, kitchen use, and drinking. Fortunately I don't have to worry about even more for the BW tank.
With some thought and experience there are lots of techniques that can help conserve water. Fortunately my wife is onboard with this. The alternative means short stays in remote areas where we would really like to stay longer. It can also mean driving long distances just to fill the FW tank. Even with care my stays without water are limited to a week or so. I don't want that to turn into just 2 or 3 days.
