how do you make your tanks last so long?
I read all these posts about people boondocking and having their tanks last 2 weeks or even more... How the heck do you do that? Even with navy showers, we are lucky to go 3 days... Our motor...

We've gone as much as 1 1/2 weeks and have HALF the capacity you have. What others said....conserving (on/off when doing dishes, brushing teeth, showering) We do NOT have to take a shower every day....in fact, that dries your skin out. Doing dishes....do NOT fill a sink FULL. I fill the wash sink about 3" deep. Wash the big things (plates) first. I hold the plate under the faucet and let the rinsing water go into the wash sink. It keeps that water hot and rinses at same time. Bottled water. Toilet: I flush EVERY time. We don't have the kind of toilet you have. But, when I go #1, I do a quick "whoosh" and drop them water down. When I go #2, I fill the toilet with a little water first....it help #2 go down faster and better.
One point --- your son......I caught my grandson holding the toilet lever down and just watching the water go down. My discovery with a butt-load of grandkids: Boys watch the water, girls use a roll of TP EVERY TIME!!!!! When we take grandchildren now, I make them use baby wipes for washing their hands and faces, and I watch them like a hawk.... :)
