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.

Aside from your issue, the other 4 people should be able to stay clean on 20gal/day or so. But this isn't luxury showers, it's get wet, turn water off. Soap up, rinse done. Navy showers.

Look at wakeboard or wake surf ballast bags. You could get 1500 lbs of ballat sacks that sit in front of a bed divider. Ballast pump with longer hose to xfer to camper. Find a package on close out. Couple handled for 2 bomb proof ballast sacks and a 12v pump. Fold up and store when not in use.

When we go out for long boonie trips, I'll stop n fill a 450 lb sac on the back seat floor (truck camper) and 3-4 days later when our 50 gal runs out, drain gray back into the woods and refil FW.

Look at wakemakers.com for ideas.
