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.
You sound exactly like us. Same trailer, too!
We aren't going to start eating off styrofoam and skipping showers just because we are camping. We did plenty of that when we were tent campers. We bought an RV to use it.
We can go 2-3 days before emptying our gray tank and with a 32 gallon tote, it's no big deal to take 20 minutes and fill it up and haul it to the dump station in one trip. Hell, it gives me something to do on a lazy afternoon.
Oh, and we keep it in the bed of the truck.
