We always keep our tt stocked with personal items and non-perishables, both replenished as needed. Short trip or long, we add perishables and condiments when we start out. On longer trips we replenish on the road. This saves us a lot of time packing for a trip; 2 days or 2 months only takes 15 or 20 minutes. And that is mostly camera and hiking gear.
One thing you will figure out, when you're moving every day or two, is that a lot of the outside stuff (awning lights, rug, outdoor decor, etc.) is unnecessary and time consuming. Breaking down and setting up all that stuff every day gets tiresome. From pulling into our spot to sitting down and having a beer, we spend 15 minutes setting up. That includes unhooking, leveling, slide outs, and making sure everything is working and put away. We carry three folding chairs, a side table, and our bikes for outdoor gear.
