Remember - you don't have to fully empty your grey water holding tank completely, only off load enough that the system can be used once again. Your 18 gal tote is plenty big enough if you manage the situation correctly.
Likewise with fresh potable water - I carry a set of four 7 gal Aquainters labeled for the purpose in the back of my truck and can collect more at any time, at my convenience.
K.I.S.S. is often the best method. :B
