It's amazing how much water we use
Ive been fulltiming for a few months now. I fill up my 85 gallon fresh water tank every 2-3 weeks. I had a chance to look at a friend's water bill. It said they used just under 6000 gallons of wa...

Gee, we sure do love having our own water well and septic system! Use all the water we want and just let it run right back in the ground so someone else can use it again and so on. All our homes have a well and septic system and our main home we've kept for retirement has had the very same well for 48 years now and it still tests excellent which we have done about every 2 years. Never a water or sewage bill! Got a little over 40 years with our original drain field and then simply added a second with a diverter "Y" valve. If we were to sell our main home, the home would have to then be connected to the public water line that goes by the front of our property. As long as we own it, we are grandfathered in with our well and our 2hp irrigation well will still be legal anyway. NOT for sale!
When RV'ing, we do conserve water whether in a FHU or water and electric or electric only or dry camping. Doesn't matter if using the MH or the TT or the 5th wheel or the TC. Just a habit we got used to and it works great. Our smallest fresh water tank is 40 gal and the largest is 60 gal. Gray tanks vary from about 26 gal to 80 gal. Easily can go a min of a week before dumping any of them and often can go 2-3 weeks. Carry a 25 gal "blue lagoon" on the back of our 5th wheel for dumping without moving the 5th wheel when wintering in Florida if at a non-FHU CG or in a non-FHU CG site. Never have a problem!
We like campsites with elbow room and run from slot like small campsites. Won't have an RV that isn't truly self-contained and not enough fluids capacity for over a week min with us 2. Just learn how to use you capacities wisely. It's so easy! Our 52nd year of RV'ing.
