It's one thing if you actually USE the stuff you bring along. My worry here is they'll move all the excess stuff to the trailer, then proceed to pack the RV full of stuff all over again, ending up with the same problem.
On this trip, really buckle down and pay attention to what you use and don't use. You might even go so far as to mark the items you use with a piece of tape or your first initial in an inconspicuous place with a Sharpie. Anything that hasn't been "tagged" after 6 months on the road is unnecessary weight and bulk that you're bringing along for absolutely no reason.
The obvious exceptions are basic tools and safety equipment. These are items you may need but hope you'll never use. Obviously you don't need a complete shop, just enough wrenches, hammers, and pliers to make basic repairs.
