If the onboard water pump works better, I would use it. Mine, I find that flow adequate, but I get better flow from the campground hookup. I think your problem is not pressure, rather flow rate. I suspect your pressure limiting device is restricting flow too much. There are a number of devices sold for this purpose, some of the cheaper ones are junk because they limit flow too much, while doing OK limiting static pressure.
Packing stuff, I pack it tight. I carry more paper towel and toilet paper rolls than I need for any single trip, as cabinet filler. 1/2 inch lip isn't mean to hold anything in. A 2 inch lip would not work any better, if the items are loose on the shelf.
My experience with campground (and laundromat) driers is different. I've found them faster than my dryer at home, and much hotter than I would like them to be. But I also dry as much as possible on a clothesline (really slow) because I know most of the wear on my clothing comes while it is tumbling in a mechanical drier.
If campground firewood is too expensive, I don't need the fire. I have a camp stove, so I seldom cook over a wood fire. Most of my camping is when the days are 100-110 F, evenings are 80-90 F, I don't need a fire to keep me warm. I have clothing to keep me warm down to 40 F or colder. So the fire is for atmosphere, I can put a price on that, do without it if the price is too high.
