The real issue isn't the supply of fresh water - it is the capacity of our gray tank, which is only 25 gallons. That has become the limiting factor on our ability to boondock.
Dan,
Do you have a black tank? If so, does it fill a lot slower than the grey tank ... like ours does?
Our black tank not only fills a lot slower than our grey tank - our black tank holds ten gallons more than our grey tank. When out drycamping, we offload our grey tank into our black tank to extend our stay: We carry along a plastic bucket. When the grey tank is nearing full, we just fill the bucket a few times from the grey, take each bucket load into the bathroom and dump it into the toilet.
This works like a champ to better balance the fill-rates of the two tanks so we can stay camping longer. ;)
P.S. Our grey/black tanks' emptying valves system allows us to combine the tank capacities when camping to accomplish the same results as above but I prefer to keep the tanks separate, so we use the grey-water-down-the-toilet method.
