We dry camp a lot and can run low on water. I have a few suggestions. In our Outback TT, it take forever to get hot water in the kitchen sink and a little less time in the shower. We started capturing that water for the dogs, hiking water for us and water for coffee and drinking. That save a number of gallons per day. Also installed a new shower head.
However, for extended boondocking, the ultimate solution was to buy a 35 gallon water tank and a Shurflow 12V pump. When we run low I can transfer the water from the tank to the TT. You learn to gauge the amount needed by the number of nights out so you don't have to carry the full 35 gallon. Of course this only works if you have the cargo capacity left over after adding generators, gas, etc. in the back of the truck.
