With 4 people every little bit helps. Per the Jayco brochure it lists 38 gallons including the water heater which is 6 gallons. We could go about 3 days total with all of us showering and minimal dishwashing. This was with only the Oxygenics ETL 26781. Well worth the money and recommend it to anyone.
This winter (2015) I've made several improvements which aiming for 5 days, 7 days would be a great goal. Added a 21 gallon freshwater tank under the bed. Originally was going to place it under the dinette but the framing interfered. I regret not buying at my local RV parts place. I would of returned it for a 42 gallon. The Jayco is only a 3/4 ton chassis so also worry about weight!
The bottom valve is for the belly tank, top the new tank. Also would note that the interior tank was for winter use also.
The Oxygenics shutoff is actually a trickle shutoff. Reduces the temperature swings. But dry camping every little bit helps so added a complete shutoff. I might relocate those to the shower head end.
One more was changing out the aerator on the bathroom faucet with the .25 gallon version from Lowes. No pictures but the link below. There isn't alot of flow but still does the job. If I can find a .5 I'll replace the kitchen sinks.

One quick shot of the water pump area. I'm pretty the engineer was drunk on the factory design. The pump was turned 180 degrees from the position below and setting on it's head! Used a relocation kit to turn it, I'd also never recommend the Shurflo relocation kit. The hoses are too stiff and everything can be purchased separately just as cheap!
Not much more I can do unless I leave the kids at home!
