I think the reference was to where one can get to with the vehicle, not for how many days one can poop in the thing.  I use a bucket with spagnum moss as a medium, and can go for about as long as I want to without having to find an appropriate place to dispose of the contents (like a pit or vault toilet).  When in the real boonies, I bury what I have.  RVs can't navigate to some of the places I go.
