Water planning

Boondocking water calculator

Estimate water needs based on crew size, trip length, shower habits, and cooking style before you run short.

Water usage calculator

Estimate how much fresh water your crew will burn through before you commit to a week away from hookups.

Water needed

95 gal

Recommended tank

110 gal

Plan on navy showers, dish basins, and refill stops if your fresh tank is under 70 gallons.

Why the water number matters

Fresh water is one of the most common trip limiters for new boondockers. A realistic estimate gives you a better read on whether your trip length, refill plan, and shower habits actually fit your tank size.

Use this result as the planning baseline and then adjust upward if you are traveling in hot weather, cooking full meals every day, or sharing the rig with guests who are new to off-grid routines.
