We don't drycamp in the boondocks as long as the OP was asking about - as our "comfortable" duration time is limited to about 7 days without getting into full-blown backpacking mode ... due mostly to fresh water supply.
Our grey water tank can be off-loaded into the larger black water tank to extend our effective grey water capacity.
We don't have solar. For electrical power we have four day-or-night, rain-or-shine, combinations:
1) 4000 watts of 120V AC from our built-in generator fueled from our main 55 gallon gas tank. (fairly quiet)
2) 300 watts of 120V AC from our pure sine wave inverter. (no noise)
3) 650 watts of 120V AC from our small four-cycle Honda portable generator (extremely quiet)
4) Up to 60-65 amps per hour of 12V+ DC while idling our main engine's alternator. (ultra quiet)
Our coach battery bank capacity consists of 230 total amp hours from two 12V deep cycle AGM batteries.
