We have a Chalet XL1935 for the two of us. We tend to go out for 3 to 4 weeks at a time.
Currently, we carry enough clothing for 10 days, which means more for her than me :) We do laundry about once a week or so. We have 3 sets of sheets, towels, etc., that are rotated.
For cooking I have 3 hard anodized dutch ovens set in each other (10", 12" & 14", a 5.5 qt. sauteuse with lid and an 1.5 qt. pan with lid. Silverware, correll setting for 4, coffee cups and glasses. Also carry enough paper plates and bowls for the trip. Coffee maker and the accessories. Toaster, microwave, etc.
Carry 4 re-usable grocery bags of canned food (divided by type). 2-3 loaves of bread, chips and snacks.
The trailer has a queen bed (mattress with topper), wet bath and two person dinette that we converted to a couch.
We do hang some clothes in the trucks back seat. Of course, there is more stuff that resides in the back of the truck, such as chairs, cooking table, etc., but nothing but us is transferred to the trailer :)
We probably have too much room and end up carrying more than needed. Basically, we have more space than weight capacity.
p.s. Our older trailer was a 2006 Chalet Alpine with the wet bath. The dinette was made into a full time bed and we still have enough room for storage. We used two storage containers that resided underneath the bed. One for clothing, the other for food.
