That's about the size of my black water tank.
For me, a week to ten days. Me and my wife, three to five days. Me, my wife, one daughter, two grand-daughters two days max, I need to plan dumping the tank daily.
This is about like asking how long a roll of toilet paper lasts. It depends on who is using it.

What about buying or borrowing a tote tank? We have an 18 gallon and two of us can lift it into the back of our truck. Not sure what you're driving tho. Could get you a few more days. Would need to find a dump station somewhere. Sanidumps.com lists locations.

The rental company did not do you justice renting you that unit. I'm sure you told them how many you had in your party and your set-up at the event.

First time RVers! There will be two of us, possibly a third some of the time. We would hope to use our own bathroom at night, but mostly use other facilities during the day.
We are flying there, and an RV will be delivered to the site for us.
2013 Crossroads Z-1 25' is the leading option so far, and it seems great, but apparently it only has 26 gallons of black water storage.
There's electricity, but no way to dump the tank for 11 days.
Any guesses or advice on roughly how many flushes that would be? How many days that would last?
How many gallons of black water storage should we have, if we plan to last 11 days?
Also, we will be given a regular 110-120v household extension cord to plug into, which is hooked to a bank of generators for the event. But I wouldn't want to try to draw a dangerous amount of power. Any advice on using a household connection like that?
I checked the FAQs and read a lot, but still don't know for sure about these two issues. 🙂 Any other advice about this you may have would be great!

How long a tank will last will depend partly on it's shape/configuration. Some tanks are quite shallow and "solid" waste doesn't spread sideways like water does. Our blank tank is shallow and the most we can get out of it for 2 people is about a week. Had a previous TT with smaller tank that would last longer due to it's shape.
Don't skimp on water to make the tank last longer because it won't. Add a few gallons before using it and don't skimp each time you flush or you can get the infamous "pyramid of poo" in just a few days.

As an emergency back up, you could acquire some plastic bags to line the toilet with and then put them in a trash can if the tank gets full and well, you gotta go.
