We all have different styles of travel and different expectations. I rarely stay in any campgrounds with hookups. Unfortunately, in many areas water can be hard to find. I not only start out with a full water tank but try to keep it filled. My usual water consumption is about 3 gallons per day including a daily shower. If my wife is along the consumption is likely to be 5 gallons per day. I often just use a water jug and funnel to keep the tank full.
In addition to a full water tank, I have two propane tanks and try to fill up as soon as one empties. I stock some canned goods and staples in order to get by for at least a couple of weeks if there are no grocery stores available (or reasonably priced). Finally to extend my stays, I carry about 30 pairs of socks, underwear and T shirts. Also an extra set of sheets. That avoids those long hours at Laundromats.
Again, I have no idea what you mean by a "big trip". My usual camping trips cover about 15000 miles over about 4 months or so.
