However, we're currently in search of a camp that offers showers and electricity.
I’m not sure what you actually know of Burning Man, but I think perhaps you’ve been misled, because what you’ve just asked borders on being offensive.
Theme camps are not hotels. They do not exist to help ensure that you have a comfortable camping experience. They are not something you shop around for to find who offers the best amenities for the best price.
Instead, they exist in order to offer some kind of interactivity or service to the rest of the city during the event. You see, everyone who comes to Burning Man is expected to participate in and contribute something to the city. That’s true regardless of whether it is your first time or your 20th, and regardless of how long a distance you travel.
Joining a theme camp is one way of doing that, but if you join a camp, the expectation is that you want to be part of whatever it is they offer to the city, and are going to put significant effort into help making it happen - not just do a few chores. So if you want to join a theme camp, you should be looking first and foremost at whether what the camp offers to the rest of the city.
Additionally, even if you do find a camp that aligns with your interests and promises you things like electricity and showers, you need to show up prepared to take care of yourself even in the case that the camp you paid doesn’t show up at all, or doesn’t provide what they promised. That does happen - even a good camp can have a bad year, for all kinds of reasons.
Also, not all camps are good camps. Camps that cater to overseas guests by promising those kinds of amenities are often run by people who see their theme camp as a way to make money and/or try to skirt other rules about how they obtain and use generators, showers, etcetera. Making money off of a camp isn’t allowed, and both the org and the BLM (government agency that looks after the playa) are serious about shutting that and unlicensed equipment providers down.
So there’s a decent chance such a camp may get shut down before the gate even opens, and you wouldn’t even know about it until you showed up. Even if it does, it might have key equipment confiscated or removed. That’s not theoretical - it happened to people last year.
You have an RV and tickets already. That alone puts you in a far more comfortable setup that the vast majority of other participants. If you really want electricity and showers, there are any number of ways you can plan ahead and arrange what’s needed. But fair warning - if you aren’t going to feel comfortable camping for a week without electricity and showers, Burning Man may not be a pleasant experience for you even if you can arrange them.
one gallon or less is doable. 
Shopping for accommodation and camp amenities is a real turnoff. It is a desert camping trip. If you don’t like camping and you don’t like the desert, please don’t go. It sounds like you have a good start on your setup, consider perhaps that a full accommodation camp will be full of people who can’t take care of themselves. Will they on average, be a great group of camp mates?
