We have the same setup, we have no issues with running out of water, my kids are 7&9. We can go 4 days until. It's time to refill and pump out. Don't go through all that trouble, teach everyone to conserve a good lesson for all is to run out. You can always dump a little lake water in your holding tank provided your and fairly clean water to get by for a night
I agree - however I would rather have them use enough water as to not plug the vacuum lines. Even with a lot of training - it still happens every once and a while. More water covering the bowl contents = less clogging. We have the additional holding tank (so 60 gal total), so holding tank isn't an issue.
We've run out (twice). Just used a drinking water jug to pour lake water in the toilet, and exclusively drank beer and wine. It also allows us to have a spare water pump on board that I could swap out if needed.
The actual setup should be quite simple - finding the appropriate bronze fittings from one source is proving to be the main challenge.
All said - 4 days is impressive, I'm going to have to challenge my family a bit more. I also suspect washing dishes to be the other main water consumer. Other than coffee tea and teeth brushing, we don't drink the holding tank water.
