Generator, Storage, Solar, et. al
So we just bought our 2017 Bullet 247BHSWE. I hope it was a good choice. It might be at the upper end of what we can tow already. I guess a fully set up trip to the scale will tell. Now I have lots of...

Congrats on the new TT. My advise is to go slow on what you purchase until you decide how you like to camp.
I have put over 30,000 miles on our TT in a little over three years. I still have stuff I was told I could not live without, wrapped in their original packages. :)
Generators, solar, extra batteries and the like are added as need. If you enjoy State Parks, full service campgrounds with activities for the kids, campgrounds near tourist attractions etc. You my never need more than what you have. If your family enjoys the far flung corners of BLM wilderness you may need all if it.
The DW and I can go for four days without electricity with just an extra battery. But, we come from a tent and canoe background. However, we rarely do without electricity for more than a day or two, because we enjoy the creature comforts that a TT provides. That is why we bought it in the first place.
There is a fair amount of "stuff" that is hauled while camping, I always resist the temptation to add one more peace of junk I need to deal with. A few trips will show you what you really need for your style of camping.
I like to have my TT close at hand between trips. We have, on a whim, taken it out to a State Park in the dead of winter, for a day or two of dry camping while snowshoeing. Plus, there is a fair amount of maintenance of you use it a lot.
Camping is supposed to be a fun hobby. Keeping it simple helps keep it that way.
Good luck
