First off, ditch the firewood. Transporting firewood from one location to another helps spread pests that can devastate a new area. Buy it where you burn it and leave what you don't for the next camper. Regarding carrying stuff, you'll need to cut down what you carry and go for smaller more compact items. We got some small REI chairs that fit in the pullout drawer in our Arctic Fox 996 and work well for us. Generator is another subject. Some think you can live without one, others wouldn't even think of ordering the stock one and go with a portable. If you go that route, some carry it in the storage compartment that would house the stock genset. You'll have to decide if you want to carry additional fuel for it, but if you have a gas truck, at least you can use it in a pinch. We have a diesel and didn't want to mess with hauling a gas can so we went with the Onan genset from the factory. Works fine for us, but some say it's too noisy. Granted it is somewhat louder than a nice little Honda portable, but ours beats having to get the portable out, set it up, secure it from theft, refuel it, etc... Ours is push a button and enjoy the A/C or microware. Check my post on under bumper storage or others have mounted boxes to the bumper or put stuff on the roof. There are many ways to carry what you need, enjoy setting up your rig.
