We carry 20 gallons of fresh water in the tank when we head out from the house. That is more than enough for 4 days with no restrictions on our use. If we needed to make it last as long as possible it would still be enough for a week of normal drinking and toilet use.
When I delivered boats to the Caribbean the allotment was 1 gallon per crew member per day. It never was a problem to stay within that amount of use on trips of 3 weeks duration.
Water weighs 8 lbs. per gallon so we avoid carrying more than we actually will need between camping locations. I also check ahead to be sure that we can get access at the campgrounds. With the ongoing drought that is not always a given in the west.
