With an eye towards lots more dry camping and our first venture into boondocking, solar is getting installed today and I'm now looking at water. Just two of us, and we're reasonably thrifty with water but I'm sure could do better.
So we don't scare off the wildlife we like to take a quick shower every 1-2 days depending on temps and hiking, etc.
For those in similar circumstances, how long are you able to make 100 gal of fresh water last?
I'd like to be setup so we are limited by black water capacity, which I figure we can make a week, perhaps a couple days more.
Installing a 0.5 GPM showerhead plus a shutoff. Also, I've already got a 35 gallon aux water tank plus pump that I can throw in the toad. Thinking about adding a 40ish gallon second tank in the basement, to be filled only when heading for a long dry camping situation.
Another question: for those heavy duty boondockers out there, what's your strategy for finding water to refill? Just move and spend a night with full hookups once a week, or tote water in the toad?
Thx.
