And obviously our personal items
Very similar to ours.

My wife and I sleep on a Exped mattress. A pair of residential pillows. We just use two sleeping bags, connected together with zippers that side opens in case one of us get hotter.

Fridge/freezer under the mattress, and it is always on. Blinds on front 3 glasses. The other glasses are tinted dark enough that it is invisible from outside unless someone really wants to try to see us inside. 😁

We also carry a Jackery 1.5kwh battery, along with a mini induction cooktop, a small air fryer, and a small kettle with foldable handle. All of our gears pack very small - chairs, tables, etc. We also carry our backcountry camping tent (tiny when packed) just in case we encounter sites where they ask you to pitch a tent, but so far, we haven't experienced one. Few times, we used it to store items temporarily when we needed some room.

This setup also allows us to boondock at Walmart parking lot if we need to. All of our gear fits within the frunk, footwell, and rear trunk/side wells. Backpacks go to passenger front seat when we sleep. Nice to be able to do this, especially when we arrive late at night with no options and raining outside. Very easy to drive away in the morning and continue our journey.
 
That made a good second choice and I did make my own but you must remember to set the amperage in the car. With the 50 adapter use with this, the car will want to pull more amps than the TT 30 circuit is designed for. It's never best to think awe the breaker will trip. Sometimes they don't. I labeled mine all over EV charging only set amps to 28. But, I'm also that guy who removes the clutch engage switch to start a manual.

It’s better to get the TT-30 plug from EVSE because it automatically sets the mobile charger to operate at 24amps. It also has a built in thermal sensor so if the receptical is a little corroded and heat build up it’ll stop charging. Much safer to use than an adapter cable.
