Maybe my stuff weighs more. I have a 75' HD extension cord that has come in real handy. I bet it weighs a good 25#. Yup, solar panels, have 2 of them. With mounting brackets and hardware, they are surely in the 100# range. I also upgraded the 75# little battery to dual AGM batteries that weigh a total of 300#. I also have a Honda generator and a couple of cans of gas so I can fire up the A/C and charge batteries when camping in the shade.
I guess you plan for 3-4 day trips. I go for that many months and we initially full timed in our truck camper for a couple of years. That adds to the necessary food supply. Typically I can eat out of camper storage for a couple of weeks. I also carry enough clothing to handle 3 1/2 seasons and to avoid Laundromats for up to about a month.
No, I dont plan for 3 to 4 day trips, but I do plan for being by a store at least every three or 4 days, or at least once a week) . I have a small fridge so I do more grocery trips and such. I like fresh food. even if I am heading out into the bush for 7 days it doesn't realy change the food I initialy pack as it will hold me for 7 days no problem. if for some reason I am going longer I still have 1500lbs of capacity to pack more, I just dont know how I would carry a genny and all that extra stuff as I have no storage room left except the inside of the camper and it would be a pain to unload that just to get in to make lunch or use the washroom. but the other restriction I have is the size of the tanks, about a week is the max and I would have to dump and get more fresh anyways (if im by myself, add the wife and were proablry down to 4 days)
