Man, you guys eat a lot for a weekend. Or is that for a few weeks? If so, you could easily replenish your food/drink while on a trip. You don’t need everything up front.
I typically travel for about 4 months. But not much would change with a trip of only a few weeks.
Replenishing on the road can be difficult especially if you are in a National Park many miles from a decent grocery store. Death Valley was the worst but there are plenty of other places where shopping was inconvenient and could mean a round trip that would take the better part of a day.
I usually stock some basic canned goods and dried foods to last for a couple of weeks and then replenish from there.
If you only take some weekend or short trips, I suppose you would not need to take much in the way of food, clothing or anything else.
Even so take a look at what you bring and store in the camper. The weight can really add up. I have even dumped a number of items due to the weight. Zero gravity chairs are really nice, but weigh too much. I don't carry a BBQ or fuel for it. I have stopped bringing most of my tools and misc hardware and supplies.
