When we bought our first TT in 2016 we bought a bunch of stuff we thought we'd need or enjoy using. We have used the trailer many times in all sorts of situations. The two things that almost never got used were the outdoor rug (RV mat?) and the strings of lights we thought would be so nice.
Important things to us were a good outdoor charcoal grill (the small square Weber. There are only two of us), which can be used to have a small wood fire to give the semblance of a campfire where there is no fire ring. Also, the right chairs, and a small collapsible table. We like the upright chairs with the collapsible side table (Costco has a good version, probably Walmart too). We also have one of the "anti-gravity" type for serious lounging.
We've been on long and short trips, mostly long ones. We wanted to have "nice dishes", etc, like at home, but we ended up using paper plates almost all the time. Found a size and type we liked and stuck with them.
We are an older couple; if you're a family doing short camping trips our choices may not make sense for you.
