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...

Hi,
It looks like you have gotten a lot of great suggestions so far. As you can see, conserving water is more of a mind set than anything else. And, you will find that if you conserve your fresh water, the gray and black will "mostly" take care of themselves.
So here is my suggestion. The next time you need to fill up with water, park your rig about 50 feet from the end of your hose. And exclaim, "Darn, the hose is too short". Then, using portable water containers (that you just happened to bring along for this "game"), have everyone work together to refill your tank.
My guess is that after this "exercise" (be careful not to hurt your backs), your family will be the ones posting great suggestions on how to save water the next time someone asks this question.
