Based on your experience how many days can you go without needing to empty your holding tanks, and how reliable are your tanks guages? And of course how big are your tanks and how man people are camping with you?
I know this is relative but i am trying to get an idea.
I have 32 gallon black and gray. I am solo camping now and finishing today after 4 nights. I have used the shower sparingly. My guages show that i now have full black and gray tanks. Seems that would not be the case this quick with one person.
Thanks

our trailer has two 32 gallon grey and one 32 gallon black tank. DW and I can go two weeks and still have some room in the tanks. quick shower every other day, carefull with dishwashing, get a big load, use paper plates/cups etc for quick meals. Makes good firestarting material anyway. On the occasions where it is just me, I don't even fill one grey tank in a week and the black is only 1/3 full.
With us, two grandkids, daughter and SIL, we can go 5-6 days before I need to do something with grey water. Even in this case black isn't full, but close.
In general, meals that work well in paper get paper stuff, if it doesn't we use regular dinner ware. Probably a 50/50 split on average.
Everyone has ONE drinking glass they need to use ALL day, no grab one, drink, toss in sink grab another etc.
We use the oxygenetics shower head with the push button shutoff, probably can shower with a gallon of water that way,
It's all careful water conservation. And in all the cases above we haven't needed to use (a) campground toilet facilities or (b) the campground dishwashing disposal dumps for any water either.
