So I've been wondering about dry camping, and how you go about
getting more water if you need it, without packing up and going
somewhere. I carry jugs for about 26 gallons of water
capability. Do you go to a gas station and try and find a hose to
fill them up?

It's been almost 20 years since I carried 2 6-gal jugs in the van,
and back then just about every gas station had a spigot on the wall
somewhere. I just stuck them under the spigot and filled 'em up.
Didn't need a hose. How much do you carry in the RV tank?

The RV has a 31 gallon fresh water tank and I can carry an extra 26 if
needed. I was trying to figure out how long it would last off grid
and how to go about getting more. If it was just me, I could easily
go a week with this amount, but I'm not sure the wife even has a
conserve setting that works.

Heading out the beginning of April and staying at a place for 2 days,
probably do a little scouting for a boondocking site. Might finish
off the trip staying somewhere a couple days, but not sure yet. Gonna
be checking out some of those spots you marked for sure.

Keep in mind that those spots are from the mid-oughts. Floods,
earthquakes, meteor strikes, haboobs, spacecraft crashes, unfettered
development, and plain old dumbass vandalism may have changed them
somewhat. Once again, Google Sat and Street View are the adventurer's
friend. Wish I'd had it back then - I had to flatspot hunt with hunches.

Here's another map that might help you:

It's BLM spots. Click on the icon for information about the campsite.
Again, they're about 20 years out of date.

Fresh water capacity won’t be your only issue. After you use that water you
have to have a place to put it.

Hey, man. It's the desert. It can use whatever he's got.
That's kind of what I thought, to be honest. I doubt we would fill up a 41 gallon black holding tank very quickly, and I don't think I would hesitate to drain the gray water tank if I had to.
