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...

First of all it would be a cold day in hell that I would buy an RV and then pee in a bottle. :R
My guess is maybe your family IS taking 'short' showers but they are NOT turning the water off while scrubbing or shampooing their hair.
Short showers are one thing, turning the water off DURING the shower is what is needed. Short shower and not turning it off while you do what you need to do with the soap is a water hog and tank filler.
That is a real hard sticks and brick habit to break but it is why the rest of us get longer times out of our tanks.
If you are without hookups and running off your water pump you should be able to "hear" if they are shutting the water off and on during their showers. If you do not hear the pump clicking on and off while they are showering, bang on the shower door and tell them they are banned until they get it!!!:B
