Here's a couple of tips that I learned the hard way.
If there's two of you, take enough plates, silverware, glasses and coffee cups for two. There's no place to store dirty dishes. If you have company, use paper plates and cups. You're camping.
Buy gallon jugs of distilled water for coffee, cooking and tooth brushing. Its cheap. Some perfectly good water from a campground has more iron in it than others. The locals don't notice, but you will.
The oven is a perfect place to store things you don't use that often. If you insist on using it to bake, line the bottom rack with fireproof tiles and cook on the rack above. Unless you like food that's burned on the bottom and undercooked on top. And buy an oven thermometer. The numbers on the dial are estimates.
If you enjoy grilling out, consider buying a George Foreman lean, mean grillin' machine for those times when it rains. Or a really big umbrella.
Clothing. For men, it easy. Two pair of jeans and some T shirts. Add a pair of washable casual pants and a shirt with a collar. I'm single, so I can't make wardrobe selections for the ladies, and I wouldn't if I could but closet space is at a premium.
Showers. Small hot water tank. Let the wife go first and wait until the water heater recovers, or use the CG showers. Take flip flops if you do.
