2 nights, what size tanks do you have, 5 gallons?
Hehehe ... actually 37 gallons each for black and grey tanks.
When we go camping we eat just as we do at home, or better. That means real meals not "camping food". This means that real dishes need to be done for 3 meals a day. We also use the toilet and shower as we do at home. Between these two the grey tank fills up after 2 nights / 3 days, although the black tank can go for maybe twice that, or more.
We know how to scrimp on water in those cases when we are not at a full hookup and don't have the portable tank, and that includes transferring grey water to the black tank. DW does not particularly like to do this scrimping, however.
We are like you, when camping we eat like at home, we enjoy cooking while camping, we have a big flat top cast iron that we do fajitas, stir fry, and lots of breakfast foods also, nothing gets precook end at home typically, other than chili and our homemade hash, we like those two better the second day. Our tanks are 60 and 70 gallon though so we have not needed a tank yet.
