I have been car, tent, VW, and now RV camping all my life and I can tell you what I wish I hadn't done...pack every damned thing I could think of. You are not going off the grid for 6 months...you don't 'need' very much. You will 'want' stuff tho. If you try and cover every contingency you will be over weight and the worst thing is? You'll spend a half hour looking for that piece of 'stuff' and maybe find it, maybe not.
Now..maybe you have to get it all in there. If you can pare it down to what you 'need' and then a few things you 'want'..you'll be a much happier camper. In all my years..I never needed all the wrenches, screw-drivers, jacks, pots-pans, plates, clothing, boots, sweaters,..I still drag around with me.
