X10 On the conservation!
We:
take Navy showers
Never leave water running when brushing death, 4rinsing dishes etc.
Capture dish rinse water for other uses.
Use land based restrooms whenever we can.
Never have water running if at that very moment it is not doing any "work".
I am also in the process of adding auxiliary fresh & waste water tanks in the bed of my TV. I have a macerator pump to move waste into the aux waste tank and a normal RV water pump to transfer fresh water to the trailer.
With this I can make periodic trips to the nearest dump facility without moving the trailer.
I am also plumbing a filtration system between the fresh water transfer pump and the trailer fill.
If I deal that the water source is at all questionable I will fill the aux tank, add bleach, wait 24 hours then pump it through the filter (4 stage, .5 micron & UV) into the trailer tank.
