A couple more suggestions.
Collapsable stuff is great. We have a broom and dustpan that isn't any bigger than a Sunday newspaper and 3" thick. ALso collapsable collender and dish tubs.
Minimize dishes and wash everything daily as needed. Wife had 6 coffee cups, 6 insulated cups, 3-4 other cups and a stack of solo cups in the camper. I asked when we were leaving for our trip to the desert to save people and then removed everything but the 6 tall insulated cups. We can drink anything out of them and they seal bugs out with the little closure lip on the lids. No we have room for the toaster she wanted to bring so I went from goat to hero.
The other big thing I've found is duel use items get high priority.
Claw framing hammer became my tent stake puller along with general hammer to repair things with. Got rid of the little wood one with the hook in the end everyone carries. Getting propane appliance hoses and a t adapter to hook propane stove and grill into the 20 lb tanks, eliminated me having to use the 1 lb bottles and store those.
Some of this may not apply to your camper but it's just a mind set about really minimizing to what you need and being smart about what you take.
Again, Good Luck
