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 are building our flatbed camper with a internal 37 gallon fresh 37 gallon gray tanks. Those are in the heated living area under the sink. We don't have a black tank but instead will use a Thetford cassette toilet that has a removable 6 gallon tank. I will buy an extra cassette and make a place under the flatbed to store it.
We have an outdoor shower but only a sink indoors. The sink drains to the gray tank. The outdoor shower drains...outdoors. I plan on sponge baths and washing hair in the inside sink (large deep sink) which should conserve water to about a gallon a wash. The outdoor shower will probably only have limited use.
I am thinking of putting a large fresh water tank under the flatbed truck...it certainly can carry it as there will be 5000 pounds or so of leftover GVWR after the camper is on the truck. Maybe 100 gallons.
Reading this thread I am a bit worried about the amount of black water tank capacity you guys use. Perhaps we will carry our WAG bag toilet for emergency extended stays. The bags are expensive at $2 a pop, but you a few uses from each. You can toss them in any garbage can legally as they contain powders and seal up. We currently use them on our small sailboat.
