We have a hitch-mounted cargo tray which I sometimes haul wood on. I've also put a big rubbermaid tub on the floor of the camper filled with firewood. We heat our home with wood, so it's hard to justify buying camp fire wood... plus it's always been too wet to burn when we have.
If the dogs are with us, we haul the chairs on the floor of the camper and the dogs in the back seat area of the truck (removed the actual back seats). If dogs aren't with us, we put the chairs in the back seat of the truck, and I stash the chairs at night in the back seat of the truck regardless of dogs - they're with us in the camper at night.
We have a cheapo bike rack for my wife's Honda Fit which is very easily hooked up on the front of the truck on frame elements under the hood. If we're taking bikes, they go on the front bike rack.
We often take day trips or go to drive-in movies in wife's car. Our lawn chairs hang perfectly on the bike rack. That being the case, I've thought of hauling chairs on the front of the truck, but I think they'd block my radiator and my chairs would get painted with bug guts.
If I had a generator, it would go on the cargo tray or in the back seat, as dictated by dogs, weather, and security concerns.
