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...
Forum Discussion
Lots of suggestions and solutions have been posted.
Some are extreme, others more practical.
But that's the great thing about the knowledge and opinions on this forum.
We can take what will work for us, and ignore what will not, or we can't bring ourselves to do. We personally enjoy the challenge of stretching our water supply, after all we're camping and that is just part of the fun. But I wouldn't go so far as to #1 in a bottle. And no, we don't forgo bathing for an entire trip.
With a 100 gallon FW tank and 60/40 GW/BW tanks, going a week without running out of space should not be too difficult, even if following only some of the options suggested in this thread.
When boondocking, there is no magic. Decide what you are willing to do and do without. And then plan or adjust your camping stay accordingly. If you are unwilling to do without some home habits, that's fine too. Just plan 3 day trips, or plan a dump and refill. Or only camp where you have water/sewer hookups.
RVing is about what makes you happy and comfortable.
