![]() Most RVs don’t come stock with a composting toilet, but they’re relatively easy to install. Since everything from the toilet gets taken out of the RV and nothing goes into the black tank, you can even plumb your black and gray tanks together so that you have the total combined volume of the two tanks for just your gray water. This way, you never have to dump your black tank again! ![]() One newer way to save on tank space is a composting toilet. If you can buy an RV with bigger holding tanks, it will make a much better boondocking RV. They’re pretty pricey ($300+), take up a lot of space, and aren’t really something you want to store inside your RV, so I think this option is a last resort. Worst case scenario, if you already have an RV with small holding tanks, there is a portable holding tank option that could buy you an extra 40 or so gallons. These are typically mobile and could be taken away and dumped, or just kept with you to carry some extra waste. This too is a system that is difficult to change after an RV is built, so it’s good to purchase an RV that has the holding tank sizes that you need.Īgain, this likely will depend on the number of people you’ll be camping within your RV, and the length of time you’d like to be able to stay out in the “boondocks” without having to leave to dump your tanks. If you’re hooked up at an RV park, you can leave your tanks open all the time, and may not even realize how much holding tank space you need. Trust me, once you start boondocking, you’ll see it all out there!Įverything that goes down the sink, shower, or toilet has to go somewhere! The sink and shower generally go to the gray tank and the toilet to the black tank. We have a soft-sided water bladder that packs down tiny, but there are plenty of options from the basic six-gallon jugs you can buy in the camping section at Walmart, to hauling a 50-gallon drum in the bed of your truck. Luckily, if you have an RV with a small freshwater tank, you can still use an external vessel to carry more water or to go get water when you run out. If you’ll primarily take short trips and do not need showers, that can significantly reduce consumption. I’m lucky enough to have a big motorhome with a 100-gallon tank, and the two of us can live comfortably off-grid for two weeks (3.5 gallons per person). So multiply the number of people you’ll be camping with by the number of days you’d like to be off-grid for, and that’s the minimum size tank you should be searching for.įor example, if you’re a family of four and you’d like to be able to take week-long boondocking trips, that would be 4 x 7 = 28. ![]() is not an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.Īll third party product and company names are trademarks of their respective holders and their use does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement of WHV Resort Group, Inc.This is something that’s pretty difficult to change in most RV designs after the RV is built, so it’s best to buy with a clear intention on how much water you’d like to be able to carry.Ī good rule of thumb is 3-4 gallons per person, per day (this includes your drinking water).
