Good chefs don't need a lot of equipment like us amateurs! We bought a dutch oven for the camper, it came inside once to do holiday duty and has never left....
I think your size/weight expectations are about right for the X5, your issue as you noted will be water. Finding decent size fresh and grey tanks in a smaller trailer is a challenge. If water is accessible but just not at your trailer, get a some collapsible 6-gal water jugs that you can use to refill the trailer tank, and also a blue tote to drain the gray tank into and take to the dump area (or men's room...)
We mitigate a lot of water usage with paper towels and Windex (or other cleaner). Use paper towels to wipe the pots/pans as clean as you can so it doesn't take much water to scrub them. Use paper plates and disposables as much as possible. Use Windex on stove/countertops/etc.
Also don't wash dishes one at a time. wait until the meal is over, use the stopper to fill the sink with hot sudsy water and wash them all at once. Don't rinse them under running water, a quick dip in the suds will rinse them and the suds will run off while air drying on the drainboard.
It's just a matter of getting into a cadence of what works for you. We are going through that now, having downsized from a 34' trailer to a truck camper, and figuring out what to bring in the limited storage we have.
