Minimalist married to clutter bug.
Going camping in a small camper, I take very little. On the other hand, my wife who rarely comes with, thinks she needs to take everything--just in case. How do others deal with this problem.?

I guess I was lucky, my DW learned camping by tent camping with me for a long time. So she adapted well to not carrying a bunch of junk to litter up the tent. At first I objected to even bringing pillows, after all I had camped for years without anything, or maybe a rolled up jacket or shirt. Why carry a bulky pillow to take up space? But predictably, she won that debate. But even today we only carry about 360# of gear in the TT.
If the teenage granddaughters are with us the situation changes. After being immobilized in the TT I had them keep all their stuff in the shell of my TV that they didn’t immediately need. That wouldn’t work with a TC, though. I see three potential outcomes to your situation. You adapt, she gets tired of working around the clutter and adapts to less stuff, or she convinces you to get a 30’ TT so you can bring the house with you.:)
