Welcome aboard.
Now where do you put all of that stuff that seems so critical to camping?
Our gennie goes in a rear side compartment which has a sliding tray. Easy to slide in and out.
Lots of the other stuff goes into the folded down back seats in the crew. We boondocks a lot, sometimes for a few weeks so we fill up the back seats with:
1) 20# bottle propane and small BBQ.
2) tub of firewood
3) small gas can for genny which almost never gets used.
4) tool box, socket set,
5) 3 paddles for the canoe, 2 life jackets.
6) extra liquids( drinking water, beer, wine, pop,)
7) tub for bike helmets, extra boots and shoes, camelbaks, bike tools etc. bike pump.
8) 2 large comfortable zero gravity lounge chairs.
9) dog food and the dog if staying in BC or Canada.
Behind the seats, emergency stuff like tow chains, come-a-long, 2 shovels, 20 ton jack, rope, bow saw , hammer.
Everything else gets stored in the camper itself. Hardly know the stuff is there.

Ditto in my 8' Apex. I just discovered the wonders of removing the back seats in my double cab pickup and all the stuff I can put in that space! I had an extra 30# propane tank under the dinette. Folding camp chairs and a table on the dinette. Bicycle on receiver hitch rack. It all works well.
I also went all LED lighting and with one Group 27 battery and the 120W solar panel, I don't use the generator at all. The microwave took a hike since I hardly ever used it. And that saved big on generator use as well.
