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.?

We "try" this agreement - DH is responsible for everything outside the 5er (storage, etc) and I'll take care of the inside. Other than the clothes and his dop kit, that is. It works most of the time....when he grumbles, I just act like I didn't hear him, if he repeats it - a look usually stops that conversation, LOL.
Last trip out, he asked me why more of my stuff is getting put in the storage compartments, I replied it was outside stuff!
Good thing we really like each other......
Forgot to add: We usually load up at the start of the season. This is alot easier for us. Clothes, canned goods, etc. and tote out anything stored in the house that would not have made it through the freezing weather in the 5er (plastics, liquids, cleaners, etc.) Then, when we are ready to leave, we add the fresh food, coolers, etc. Coming home, unload the laundry, leftover fresh food to use in the house and we are done.
Laundry finished, we take it back to the 5er.
Yes, I admit, I am the clutter bug but I have gotten better over the years.
