How long can you boondock?
I know everyone's capacity and needs are different, but how long can you go without more water or a charge to your battery? I have a small TT w/25gal fresh water tank and a single 12v. battery...

21t Komfort has 50 fresh + 6 wh, 45 gray , 45 black.
i refill the fresh water from the blue 5 gallon colemans .
i drain the gray into a 4 gallon bucket and pour that into the ubiquitous brown forest service wastewater dome.
we are often alongside a lake .
the missus takes a water conserving shower each day .
i often take my washcloth and soap and do my bath in the lake
we use our own potty and that is the limiting factor although we have never filled it to capacity
we mostly camp without hookups , often in dispersed camping zones available in Oregon
we do not use a genny or solar
we use heavy duty jumper cables to connect the two exide EDGE AGM duramax TV batteries to the RV batteries on the trailer.
we drive our duramax every second or third day and that recharges the TV batteries . we hook up the jumpers to the trailer as soon as we return .
we never run the truck to recharge the trailer batteries .
we use the LED headband lights and flashlights around the campground .
instead of running the furnace we bring our propane coleman lantern inside to take the chill off on the cold nights .
we boil a pot of water on the stove inside the trailer first thing in the morning for our tea, hot chocolate & coffee. this takes the chill off the trailer .
we only have a 400 watt inverter that we only hook up to recharge 110 volt items such as electric razor , laptop , or NOOK reader .
we buy our AA & D cells in bulk at costco to operate the flashlights , battery flourescent lantern, and ipod speaker system . smooth jazz on low volume when we use it .
we camp with other friends who enjoy a quiet campground and nobody in our extended group brings a genny for that reason .
