We can go 7 days with 100 gallons and two adult without cutting back on water usage. I think you numbers on water usage are way high unless you are taking three shower/day???

The Oxygenics shower head flows 2.0 gallons/min. Not accounting for waiting till water gets hot enough while flowing, I normally take 10 minute showers. This is a medical necessity due to my psoriasis (it's a skin condition). My wife washes her hair every night. That's another easy 10 min. Then I have 3 six year old kids. 3 min a piece? So that's an easy 30 min @ 2 gal/min = 60 gal. That's not including washing dishes, brushing teeth, etc. With 3 kids, it's tough to do anything in a small way lol.

Gosh, but as I see it, you either need to cut back or stay at full hookup sites. I respect your medical needs (which can probably be reduced if you really wanted to), but why does your wife need to wash her hair (or even shower for that matter) every day and why do the children need to take daily showers? And, when they (the wife and children) do shower, why not have them take "navy showers"? It's called camping for a reason and those of us who go out of our way to boondock accomplish it by making concessions that allow 30 to 60 gallons of water to last a week ..... or two. Sorry for being a bit hard on you, but unless you want to bring along a water truck I just don't see how you can meet your requirements with most "regular" RV's (a toy hauler would help....some). But the good thing is that you still have the option to get out and enjoy yourselves by staying at campgrounds that have water and sewer connections.
Good luck and .......... have fun.
