Since dishwashing uses up a lot of water, we use the campground water for dishes and wash them in a basin (the basin also fits in the RV sink if washing inside). Then dump the basin in the campground grey water drain (usually located under the campground water tap or next to it).
I start by filling up a 2 gal pail and kettle from the campground tap which lasts for several meals' worth of dishes. Heat the kettle and add about 1/3 to the basin and balance the temp with the pail water for doing the dishes.
Then all the RV water and holding tanks can be reserved for showers and toilet use. With navy showers every other day, the DW and I can go easily 10 days without running out of RV water or filling the waste tanks.
