I didn't read the entire original post but might you consider a toy hauler with room for the gear in the back or a Class C towing a trailer for the `stuff'?
I have to agree. A toy hauler sounds like the ticket for you. Seems like most of the travel trailers in your weight range won't have the storage you need for all your equipment. For example, my Creek Side (which we really love) comes with a 66 gallon water tank, LED's, room for two batteries, Solar ready. Indicating that it should be great for boon-docking. Fact is there was not enough storage room on the inside or the out side to put a weeks worth of food and clothing. So I have enough water and power to stay a week in the wild, we will be out clothes and food in 3 days! I've worked it out since then. Toy hauler sounds like the ticket. Lots of different models and sizes to choose from.
Well honestly, my storage issues were only due to the fact that I had to haul the large tent, chairs, canopy, tables, dog crate, all the electrical stuff, the inflatable mattress and sofa, big cooler(s) etc.. none of which I'd even need if I had an RV of any kind (just thinking about it makes me giddy!!)
I could fit everything camping-wise in the single pass-through storage of any TT, and we only have about 3 pelican-cases worth of photo equipment which would EASILY fit in the under-bed storage. That still leaves most of the under bed storage and all the cabinets.
The only thing I might add is a dirt bike or scooter, but I guess I could put those on a rear rack or something? I'm not sure I can afford the extra length (or smaller interior) the storage area of a toy hauler requires.
Don't get me wrong, a golf cart would be awesome some day though. :)
