What do you load in your PUP?
I just put in an order with the local dealer for a 2018 Jay Sport 10SD and I'm super excited. The trailer hasn't actually finished production yet, so I won't have it for a few weeks at least. In the...

Well, it's been a while since I've owned a PUP, but my memory is pretty clear how we did it "back then" and why. Here's a list (may not be inclusive) of what I remember we carried.
Clothing for everyone (we had 2 kids, a boy and a girl, Elementary School age).
Cleaning supplies for the camper, like bleach and laundry sopa (also for laundry), Windex, paper towels, cloth rags, bucket, water hose, floor brush or broom.
Personal hygiene items, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bath soap, towels, wash cloths, brushes, combs, shower mats (to use in bath houses since the PUP did not have its own bathroom), deodorants, hair stuff for the wife and daughter and female (things that only girls use), like hair blowers, curlers, clips, pins, lip sticks, perfumes, and the list went on and on and on.
The kids stuff: Toys, Nintendo, a portable television, an inverter so the television and Ninetendo stuff would run off the van battery, magazines, books, dolls, and bicycles.
Adult toys: books, fishing poles, craft items, cameras, maps, radio, flashlights. (this was before the days of lap top computers, wifi, and cell phones)
Camping gear: Propane (Coleman) stove and extra bottles of gas. Paper plates, cups, silverware, folding chairs, cooking utensils, cleaners for the stove, a tripod for cooking over the fire, cast iron skillets, a dutch oven, coffee pot, toaster, a 10x10 foot quick shade, and our tent from our tent camping days that we used for the port-a-potty so we wouldn't have to truck to the bath house in the middle of the night.
Add outdoor mat, awning lights, an electric cooler, ice chest, and tubs full of food. Electric extension cords, radio, binoculars, and ... well... you get the idea.
We never traveled with water for the sink, but we always carried 2 six gallon jugs of water from home.
Add sleeping bags, sheets, pillows, rugs on the floor, 2 kids, 2 adults, 1 dog and 1 cat, 1 rabbit, 1 chicken (yes a chicken), and yes ... we were WAY over 2000 pounds in cargo!
Good luck.
