RV Gear - my list, any suggestions?

The list is good, but you appear to have some duplication:

beach chairs and folding chairs
lantern, portable cfl light, and flashlights
garage towels and shop rags.

I would reorg your list according to item type (all stoves/grills, etc) and look to see what you can eliminate. Every little space helps.

If either of you have sensitive skin, make sure you bring your preffered laundry detergent - you may not find that brand when you head to the laundromat. :)

With the limited spacing I'm using for each line item, these can appear to the be the same thing, and might be for some. I'll try to explain the differences and reasoning for including them.

Keep in mind not all things on the list go every trip. I simply scratch them off if not taking an item.

The beach chairs we have are short and lightweight. Great for their intended use, but too short for the campsite. 'tis the reason we carry both types when beach camping.

If we are boondocking, I'll take the propane lantern. If not, it stays at home as it is bulky. Since I bring Dewalt 18V cordless tools and batteries, the Dewalt 18V CFL light is quite useful. Runs for about 3.5 hours per battery.

The flashlight is quite small, and I just designed a holder for it. I keep one storage bays unlocked, and the holder is just inside the door. Better for troubleshooting due to its size, but not effective for illuminating the entire campsite.

Shop rags are small, good for motor work. I consider them disposable. Garage towels (old house towels) are large, great for drying the dog after a bath, putting on the floor by the door to minimize dirt in the coach, and for putting on the ground if working under a vehicle.

Depending on the size coach someone has, any sort of overlap or duplication would be an issue. For now, we have plenty of storage room, and weight capacity left.
