One other topic I thought of....I did say my wife is a neat freak...I cant imagine her taking our kids to a shower house, she would want to use our setup for that and our bathrooms exclusively. Water discipline is not her or the kids strong points, so that did concern me, especially if we did do some short duration dry camping. I was thinking tank capacity would be important for us, as well as water heater.
LOL. Sounds very similar again. My motorhome has 76 gal fresh water. It should be enough to last just my wife an myself for 3-4 days very easily. Well, she freaks out on a 2-3 day dry camping trip and ends up asking me at least twice a day if we're running too low. Funny, when dry camping I usually end up doing dishes because she is too afraid of using the water.
The 6 gal hot water heater we have is both electric and propane. When hooked up I use the elec heater and then at shower time I throw the propane on. On our three week trip with five adults we never had any problems. Water management is a no brainer when using full hookups and simple training (Navy shower) will be required when dry camping. The hot water will usually heat back up in the time required to dry and get dressed.
