How many days per 10 gal water
We get about 4 days from 40 gallons of water. Just two of us. So, about 1 day per 10 gallons. How do the rest of us do on our fresh water tank?
We take navel showers, but don’t use paper plates.

You mean navy showers [emoji3] ?
Back when we lived aboard, on anchor, and hauled water to the boat, we used 12 to 14 gallons a day.

10 gallons/day
We use about what you do: for two of us, two days, two nights camping dry used about 20 gallons; I wasn't real conservative when washing dishes and I took one shower, navy style.

My TT has 26 gallons of fresh and my wife and I can go 4 or 5 days without refilling. But we use it different than most. When we are out, we are rarely at the TT during the day. We spend our days hiking and exploring. We rarely shower in the TT, we find near by showers to use. Our drinking water is bottles or refilled bottles where we hike. We eat breakfast and dinner at the TT and do a small sink of dishes at night and in the morning before heading out. So our water is primarily used for toilet, dishes, an occasional foot wash, and teeth bushing.

Tent camping I figured about 3 gallons/person/day for all needs. In our RV travels we can go about 5-6 days on 60 gallons for the two of us. About the same as others are reporting here.

Five gallons a day for two people. Navy showers every evening. We are very frugal with the water but still manage to be comfortable.

We have 100GA of fresh, and we went 17 days this year at Quartzsite and still had about 15-20GA left when we dumped/filled.
We were with a group and most of our meals were provided in a large tent and all meals were on paper plates.
We showered every other day and drinking water was bottled water. When we dumped gray (100GA) and black (70GA) were both between 1/2 and 3/4.
Typically we use a little more than this but we were in extreme conservation mode during the Quartzsite rally this year. We typically go 10 - 14 days between cycles when boondocking which is our preferred mode of camping.

We drink distilled bottled water. But all other water is 8 or 9 gallons for the two of us per day. When the DW washes her hair then the water usage goes up to over 10 gallons.

100 gallon fresh 50/50 grey & black. Boondock/disperse camp mainly and can go up to 3 weeks with navy showers inc hair wash & conditioner every other day, strip wash in-between if wanted. Wash all dishes no paper and use carry on water outside of tank for drinking & cooking by choice always. During really hot weather, shower inc hair daily and we use more water in toilet (no chemicals) and top off grey prior to arriving at dump for sloshing around and will do this between 10 to 14 days depending on our plans and that is a good very comfortable timeframe for us with the tanks and not thinking about conservation so much.

My wife and I go to regional astronomy events that are in wide open fields with some amenities such as ports-potties. We managed to enjoy 8 nights with our Artic Fox22G 42 gallon fresh water tank. It was about a 90 minute drive to anywhere for dumping and refilling so we wanted the tanks to last for the whole event.
We did mostly sponge bathing sitting on a low plastic stool with a bowl of fresh warm water in the shower. Used a dipping cup so the fresh water remained clean as we continuously rinse out the wash cloth. This is how we bath on multi-week back packing trips so we are used to the drill. We use a bear proof food canister to hold water for bathing when back packing.
We used bottle water for drinking and used the porta potties some to limit the load on our black tank.
We used disposable plates and silverware and wiped out our pans with paper towels before washing them.
I had enough water at the end of the event to take a regular stand up navy shower after packing things up on the last day.
For a normal 3-4 night trip we will take a navy shower every other day and not worry about running out.

43 gallon tank gets two of us through a week dry camping without a problem but that's largely with paper plates that we burn, bottled water and no showers (jump in the river). So, just water to flush the toilet, wash hands and wash silverware and pots/pans. The campground we go to does have a water pump so it's not a huge deal if I need to get more water (point being, I'm not trying too hard to conserve but can make it a week with my tank).
