Unless you're using an outdoor shower, increasing your fresh water without also increasing the black and grey tank would be pointless. Watering the plants, maybe? lol

As someone who goes all over the country and can very easily find myself in the frigid cold, I would like to have more propane than my 28 gal tank holds. Yes, I do have electric heat pumps but, below the mid-thirties, my only heat source is the propane furnace. Daily and nightly use will last about 5 days. Can double that if daytime temps rise enough to have the heat pumps kick in. Let me tell you... watching that propane gauge when anticipating single digit temps and knowing things will freeze solid if I run out... isn't really any fun.

And, yes, if I start to run low, I can (and do) micro-manage the use by running the furnace some and, then, turning it off and on through the night but that's no fun, either. In short, more propane, please.

You can't do that with the black tank so would need a larger one to extend boondocking time.
Most areas where I have lived allow release of grey water with several caveats; does not create standing water/pools, is of a specified distance from natural surface water and property lines. I know several people in VA that have grey water ditches flowing through their gardens.
