Glad you got to your destination safely. Sounds like a great time, plus a great camping trip! Having electricity will make things easier.

We dry camp for 10+ days during the summer. One thing we do that helps a lot with the water is to use a plastic tub in the sink for washing the dishes (plus we wipe all the dishes, etc. off with used paper towels & napkins first). If you have a legal place you can dump this water without putting it into your tank, this will help. Using paper plates & cups helps too. I keep an empty 2 liter plastic soda bottle in the TM to fill up the water tank, it takes a few trips back and forth to the spigot, but it's not as heavy as our 5 gallon collapsible container. Neither take up a lot of room to pack. We also use the public facilities during the day instead of the TM bathroom.

Keep us posted on your trip and have lots of fun!
