Never heard of so much compromising to go camping.....flush toilet with dish water, shower with a baby wipe.
How about dishes with black tank ? Lol
Sorry
Do you understand that much of the world, even parts of this country, water is of value high enough that it is used as little as possible?
Next time you take a shower at home, use a bucket to catch what you run down the drain just because the pipes are full of room temperature water.
The mantra about black tanks is use lots of water. Some talk of adding detergent to keep sensors working. What is the harm in adding what you washed off dishes too?
The toilets in my parents RV had 2 levers. They interlocked, but you could run water into the bowl without opening the gate at the bottom. After a wizz, both levers to MT then rinse the bowl, then just cover the bottom. Before 2, run water into the bowl so there would be enough to carry the corn-backed rattler into the tank. Why does that water you plan to mess in need to be clean?
To do dishes you start with a pan of hot soapy water, right? After you wash dishes, rinse them off, and catch that rinse water. What is in that water? A little dish soap. Next time you need to do dishes, boil a pot of water, add to the rinse water you saved, more soap, and you are starting same place as before.
