Water shortages are due to showering. We use campground showers and stop at swimming pools. Our water tank and waste tanks last 5 or 6 days for the two of us so we only need to find a dump and fill site every 5 days. We never hookup to water, sewer or electricity.

LED lights make a big difference.
