          We are taking our campervan out for a week long trip, mostly boondocking. Running out of water is a definitely my biggest source of anxiety. Any tips to conserve water would be appreciated. TIA

              We do the navy shower thing: water on to get wet, off while I soap up, then back on for a quick rinse. I also catch the cold water that runs while waiting for it to warm up and use it for flushing the toilet. And get an oxygenics shower head too

                  This was a struggle for us too. We fill up with water before we leave, bring water jugs for drinking, shower at campground showers when available (we’ve even used a Love’s shower a few times), “navy” showers like mentioned above help tremendously, too. You kind of just have to go out and do it and see what works for you. Oh, and have some water refill locations planned out before you leave just in case.

                      Good tips above! I would just add prewashing fruits and veggies and prepping any meals that require water ahead of time. And even using disposable dinnerware to save on washing dishes (though that creates more waste).
