I like the looks of the R-pods. They look more aerodynamic too. No idea if they're any good or not. They are in the 18-20' range and have 30 gal. black & grey tanks which isn't bad at all. By comparison, our 29' TT has a 32 gal. black tank which lasts the 2 of us up to a week.
When it comes to black tanks, the key to making them last longer between dumps is lots of water - add 2-3 gallons before each use, don't skimp on water when flushing, fill to full or near full before dumping and then rinse thoroughly.
Filling up the grey tank from showering won't be the problem, it will be washing dishes and food prep. in the kitchen sink. Disposable plates & cutlery can help. We sometimes use a folding wash pan for rinsing and then toss the (clean) water outside, depending on the CG. Same when draining some boiled vegetables. One of those marble-coated frying pans are good because you can just wipe them clean with a paper towel.

If planning to spend a lot of time in a TT, I'd want a model with a sofa and hopefully a sofa that is comfortable (many are not). Sitting upright on a dinette seat for extended periods can be tiring after a while.
