how do you carry your stuff in the TC
I just sold my 43 foot toy hauler 5th wheel and am down sizing to a TC. But I am wondering where do you put the camping chairs and coolers and fire wood. How about the generator that I see so many pe...

I put anchor loops on either side of the dinette and the chairs are strapped to the wall when we travel.
I decided a small fire was all that was necessary for a small group of people so I took a deep dish Ford hubcap from around 1938 that I bought in rough shape at a flea market for $2 and made a portable fire cap that sit on a 1lb coffee can (an old steel one). I use 3-4" chunks of wax logs as the core of my fire and supplement with scraps from under my table saw. Since the wood is kilned dried no bugs. Small fires small chunks, I find 1"x1"x4" is a nice size. I can carry enough fire wood for about 3 fires in a square bucket like you buy kitty litter in. All packs in a wheel well with other stuff.
By going all LED and being power conscience we can go 4-5 days on one type 27 battery, no generator needed. I do carry a jumper battery pack in the wheel well in case we miscalculate and need an extra day, I have the camper wired so I can run from the jumper if needed.
You can get a lot more in your dry storage areas by adding hooks and tie downs to better organize the space. Extra extension cord and compact roll up hose get packed in the propane tank compartment.
I do have an aluminum box that I put on a front hitch for one big trip each year where I can fit everything inside.
I make heavy use of the storage in the wheel wells. Just use water proof containers/bags for anything that can't get a little wet.
Spend some time just sitting in your camper and get creative with the space.
