yep, you need to be WAY more conservative with your water, if you don't have sewer hookups.
you don't need to use that much water for the toilet flush.
there's just two of us and our black and gray tanks are only 25 gallons each.
it takes us 14 days of continuous camping to even come close to filling our black tank.
we can go 4-5 days before we fill our gray tank, with a shower every other day for both of us.
but we had popups for 17 years and never any hookups, so we are very good at water conservation.
don't let the shower water run continuously. take Navy showers by getting wet, turn off the shower wand, soap up and then rinse off.
