Couple annoyances you may know how to solve
Water pressure: I use a water pressure limiter and in most campgrounds the water pressure is lower than what I get with the pump. Should I just fill my fresh water tank and use the pump or risk not us...

I also use an inline water filter.
as noted in another response, standard (cheap) RV water pressure regulators limit not only the pressure but the flow as well .... an upgrade like a Watts Brass Model X65BG will maintain the pressure but will allow 6-9 gpm gallons per minute to flow into the camper .... you can also buy rebuild kits to use should it ever fail .... in addition, because a water filter will reduce the water pressure flowing through it, its best to have the regulator after the filter

Objects moving in fridge, pantry and medicine cabinet. We just got bars for the fridge. We are trying to put things tight together in the pantry. The medicine cabinet seems hopeless. Why build a trailer with a 1/2" lip on the cabinet shelves?
our frig is so full that this is seldom an issue for us .... using Camco Refrigerator Bars can help

Campgrounds dryers. They are slow, do not try well enough in a single cycle and last time our clothing got stains on it after the wash while in the dryer!
no matter where we are, we hate going to laundromats .... so much so, that we have a separate washer and dryer in the camper

Firewood. Campground firewood is expensive. We are not allowed to travel with firewood and it's not always easy to find some cheaper on the side of the road.
we enjoy having a campfire but this is a battle that we grew tired of fighting .... it seems that most everything about using a camper involves a compromise and for use using a Campfire In A Can Portable Propane Outdoor Fire Pit has proven to be an acceptable alternative .... we have plumbed our camper's propane quick disconnect to get tank pressure propane (propane that hasn't been through the camper's regulator) .... in the 8 or so years we've been using it, it has performed well .... it provides us with an instant off/on fire, is smokeless, can be used for cooking, and we have been able to use it in some places where there was a burning ban on campfires
