1. Bedding? Would you get a cheap comforter? Or a nicer puffy blanket, like a Rumpl?
-sleeping bags
2. Best Chairs?
-walmart specials mine were 2 for 25 CAD with a few spares for guests. kids have small character chairs
3. Dishes? Corelle or cheap plastic?
-we have a basic set of plastic that never gets used. we use paper and burn them for minimal waste/cleanup
4. RV mat?
-I have one but wouldn't if space was limited. never when we tent camped
5. Best cooler? The fridge is really small in this thing.
- whatever has the rating and size you needed. a colemen 6 day is what I use most because I got a good deal. nothing crazy. if you always have electricity a coolatron is convenient or a bar fridge.
6 Anything Else?
rope
duct tape
fire grade
fire cooking tools
cast iron pan
a large pot
tin foil
(I use foil pans and paper plates most, a single pot and pan and a spatula and some pokers and tongs is all I usually make for dishes to clean)
salt/pepper/spices
paper towel
zip locks
garbage bags
tent pegs
hatchet (doubles as a hammer)
small shovel
leveling boards
chocks
a large pot
portable speaker
lantern
flashlights
matches
paper/fire starter/lighter fluid
dollar store table cloth is nice to have
soap
rag/sponge
water bucket
probably a million other things (I have a hoard in the camper that never gets used because I MIGHT need it one day)
good luck. have fun
