Our camprite has 95L in tanks and I also carry an additional 40L in 2 water jerry cans. We generally try to keep the tank water for drinking and cooking and the jerry can water for washing up. We have 4 kids so we never have too much water. Really we cant go more than 4 or 5 days without a water refill somewhere - especially with my wifes compulsion for clean clothes, that really drains it more than any other source

Water ... how do you do it?
« Reply #29 on: December 06, 2016, 04:00:53 PM »
We carry 100lt in the camper tank, plus two Jerry cans.
The Troll has a further 55lt tank.
The Challenger only has an extra 20lt tank in it.
I don't carry extra bottled water. etc.
I do carry an extra couple of collapsible 20l containers in the camper  so I can use those if I need to do a water run if we are set up for a while or to use as shower water.
Always give 100%... Unless you are giving blood.. then it may not go so well...

Water should not be a real issue unless you are crossing deserts or staying in one place for a while without access to a tap. I have often filled up a 20 litre Gerry can and never used it.

85 litres under the camper for us, 50 litres on the side in jerries, a couple of goon bags of water in the ute, as well as an extra 25 if we think we need it...

Have to factor the weight though, water's heavy

A bloke at work said he uses river water to wash up & wash hands & face etc. He gets it in a bucket then puts some Epsom Salt in it to settle the water. That cuts his fresh water usage right back.
I haven't been down the river since being told that, but I'll be trying it when I do

The last three times we had the Jayco out, we've had some light rain.

I've now joined a funnel to a hose so I can stick it in the filler pipe and catch what I can during any rain we get.
We hold 120 litres under the floor in twin tanks and 20 litres on the drawbar.
