I would verify the pickup tube extends to the bottom. I would also slightly tilt the trailer toward the pickup tube to get all you can. I can go a week with three of us on 50 gallons if we mostly skip the shower. Otherwise I would figure out how to carry more water.
There shouldn't be a "pickup tube" as a =proper= fresh water tank should have a bottom low-point pickup molded into it, just as your waste tanks should have a low-point drain molded into the bottom.

Also I can get a short fill if the trailer is tipped toward the fill side leaving probably a 10 gallon bubble in the tank. Combined with tipped away from the pick-up tube when parked I can lose 15/20 gallons easy.
