Thanks to everyone for some excellent conservation ideas that I hadn't thought of before!
I think most would agree freshwater refills and reuse of grey water are relatively easy to do. However, nearly every dry-camper, conserving or not conserving, at some point and time (whether it be 3 days or 3 weeks), has to deal with the reality of a full black tank.
So, short of manhandling a 250-300 lb. waste tank or going through the gyrations of hauling your entire rig X amount of miles to a dump station, are there any other options? Is a macerator the only other reasonable, workable solution?
Thoughts? Thanks!
