Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

we just spent 5 days dry camping. We ran out of water on the fourth day. Other guests used our shower and toilet. Our tanks are 40/.40. Any water saving ideas. It usually is just my wife and I. Should we be flushing every tinkle ?  Thanks

Completely dry camping, or in a campground with restrooms??

When we are without water hookup, we do not use our shower, and encourage the kids to use the campground bathroom during the day.  We do not let the water run when we brush teeth, shave or wash dishes.

We're a family of 4 and can go 5 days on a 35 fresh water tank.

I did a lot of boondocking in the winter of 2007. I had a basin that fit into the bathroom sink and any time I ran water there, the excess was used to flush the toilet. Same thing with the kitchen sink.

I also rarely showered, making do with sink baths (Navy showers). My hair was washed in the kitchen sink, catching the excess water once again. The now popular wet wipes are gentle enough to do additional fastidious body cleaning.

I carried bottled water for cooking/drinking thus saving the fresh water tank water.

Just a few thoughts for you...
