Stocking/Furnishing a New Camper

We have a big trailer that we have put on a permanent camp site and haven't moved it for several years. The last couple years, I have missed moving around, so I have been taking the family tenting again in between visits to our trailer. In hopes of cutting down set up and break down times, I decided to purchase a small a-frame trailer to bounce around this year. I have one fully furnished trailer that we have been adding stuff to for many years, but now I have to start again.

My Big question is: If you had to start compiling stuff all over again what are your favourites? Keep in mind that I need to be as light as possible and don't have much storage in the A-frame.

1. Bedding? Would you get a cheap comforter? Or a nicer puffy blanket, like a Rumpl?

2. Best Chairs?

3. Dishes? Corelle or cheap plastic?

4. RV mat?

5. Best cooler? The fridge is really small in this thing.

6 Anything Else?

I see you are in SK. The only things I know about that are what I learned on the Corner Gas TV show. But my choices here in Michigan, USA, are:
1) choose your own blanket. What I want, and what my wife wants, are entirely different things.
2) I have Timberline chairs with solid arms. I can push myself up on the arms. Maybe not necessary for the younger crowd.
3) I love my Corelle dishes. You can't hardly kill them! but we do use a lot of paper plates too.
4) We are big fans of the RV mat. Use it all the time. Sweeps off easily. Keeps the inside of the RV much cleaner.
5) We have a Coleman electric cooler with a cheap aftermarket AC adapter that I bought off Amazon. It works great and no need for buying ice. This assumes you are camping where electric is available.
6) entirely up to you and your fellow campers!
