Let me take #10 (the easy one). If you don't mind hauling the weight, fill the hot water heater and charge the head before you leave. That way you're set up as soon as you arrive and have 9 gallons of extra water. (By the way - you really don't need 3 gallons to charge the head. Don't fill to the line - just enough that the pump will circulate. This adds some capacity for the last part of your trip. If you're adventurous, try only filling to the point where you think the head is about to circulate in the hope that the first person to make a half pint liquid deposit will push the level to where the pump will work.) - camp2canoe
