Is 50 gallons of fresh water enough for boondocking?
Is 50 gallons of fresh water enough for boondocking? I wonder how long that would last. It seems that the smaller rigs have a smaller water capacity.

Family of 4 here. We managed a week out of 45 gallons and a 30 gallon gray. As said above, we brought in more water with jugs and used it for outdoor washing of hands, dishes, etc. If it didn't HAVE to be done in the trailer, we didn't. We were VERY good at managing water and could have never done this in our first year of travel.
Realistically, 45 fresh and 30 gray is barely okay for 2-3 days. It can be burned through in one day VERY easily.
In our new rig, we have 70 fresh and 60 gray, and can easily put jugs in the basement. I imagine we can squeeze 2 weeks out of it, but more comfortably do a 4-5 day stay (which is more typical of our use anyway).
