If your toilet was purchased before 1992 it uses about 6 gallons of water, if since then it uses about a gallon and a half per flush. Some say the average person flushes 5 times a day, so that would be 30 gallons a day or 900 gallons a month for older toilets and 7.5 gallons a day or 25 gallons a month for newer ones. Divide these numbers by the gallons your water bill says you use in a month to find the percentage. There is to much variation to figure out how much your entire family uses -- clothes washer, dish washer, watering lawns, etc.

Can you install a RV toliet in your home and will it work with a septic tank?

An RV toilet is designed to be mounted over a holding tank. They use almost no water which at first might sound appealing, but unless you have a septic tank under your bathroom it would be bad news for home installation. Unless modified, an RV toilet would not be able to get the solid waste to your home septic system. A home toilet uses the force of the water to move the solid waste to your septic tank. Look for a low flush toilet or a composting toilet instead.
