Our favorite cg's don't have hookups but this works for us:
DW & I just went 8 days w/o emptying the 37-gallon black tank and there was quite a bit of capacity left. We did use the cg bathrooms when convienent and we were gone during the day.
For fresh water I bought a new 15-gallon plastic barrel. It lays on its side on an inverted cut-down wood pallet in the truck bed. I put a capped vent on the top and a garden-hose bib & 3/4" plastic ball valve on the bottom. It's pressure filled off a cg faucet then gravity fed into the trailer fw tank with a white hose.
For gray water I have a 30-gallon plastic drum (bought as surplus.) It's also fitted with a vent and ball valve. I use a 12V marine pump to get the water from the TT tank into the drum, then drive to the cg dump station and empty it. It's plumbed with old garden hose pieces.
I've been using this setup for several years so DW can use the shower in the TT instead of the cg showers.
