How big is your water tank?

Just seen this thread which is kind of related, but not exactly. Thought I'd post specifically about water tank size.

We have ditched the on-board tank in our Autohomes Kamper (which is around 90 / 100 litres I think?) in favour of adding storage under the bed. I am just building the side units and now have to decide on water tank size. I don't want fresh or waste water external at this stage so was thinking about the Fiamma 23l Fresh and Waste tanks as shown here:

With two small children we are generally planning to go wherever there are 'facilities' and so not too concerned about being able to wild camp 'off-grid' a lot - maybe just a night here wildcamping and there. I was interested in other experiences.

My question is, do you think 23l is big enough for a day or two on a camp site, assuming that water will only be used for a little washing up and drinks?

I know peoples experiences will all be different but would welcome any input.

Cheers me dears!

54.5 Ltrs so your 23 Ltrs is just under half that; should be plenty as long as you don't do too much washing up :wink:
