fresh water tank

[amyj72177]

Is there an average size of fresh water tanks? There will be two adults dry camping most of the time. I have 78X31 area to put a tank. Any suggestions?

Water conservation is another consideration. When I dry camp alone my minimal water use with a daily shower is 3 gallons. A bit over a gallon goes to the shower. The rest goes to drinking and dish washing. If I went entirely to paper plates and cups, I could probably get down to 2 gallons a day. With my wife we are at least 5 gallons a day total. Without paying attention it is easy to use twice that amount.

Ours is 40 gallons. does DW and I fine for 5 days of camping. Bigger thing for us is grey capacity. we have 64 gallons of grey, 32 black. with that combo a 2 week dry camping is fine. Usually where ever we go we either have access to fill our 7.5 gallon fresh water containers to refill the fresh, or carry an extra 30 gallons in 4 of them in the truck bed. I have a extra pump in the pass through with a siphon tube on the inlet and outlet plumbed into the fresh tank so I just stick the dip tube into the container, turn on the pump and wait a few minutes to get 7.5 gallons in the fresh tank. Sure beats lifting that bugger and using a funnel.

You can get just about any size you need here to fit your location.

You can even pick the size and locations for the fill, suction, vent and drain fittings.

Water capacity & battery capacity are king when it comes to dry camping. Figure out your cube & you can get an idea of how much tankage you can put in there.

When 5er shopping if it did not have at least 80 gal freshwater capacity the model was taken out of the list of possibilitys. That cut the size of the herd down real fast. We have 100gal capacity. So nice to be able to do at least 4 nights with 2 of us & not break a sweat worrying about water.

Fifty gallons minimum fresh and grey/black with judicious watching for fill and dump sites. Will weight be an issue at 8.4 pounds per gallon?
