We frequently boondock, which means no electric either. Our rules of thumb:
Have a full fresh water tank
Have empty waste tanks
Use EXTREME water rationing (showers every 4 days instead of every 2 days)
Nothing goes down toilet except human waste. (TP goes in a sack to the dump. We don't do this unless boondocking.)
We have a 45 gallon water bladder. We run out of fresh water in about 1/2 the time it takes to fill the waste tanks, so I put the water bladder in the truck bed and go fill it up. I have a (spare) water pump with hose connectors. I use it to pump the water from the bladder into the fresh water tank.
