Well, I could shove all that lot in my TT, plus all the emergency equipment, inners, curtains, towels, kids toys and sports stuff, bed linen, sleeping bags and towels. Plus all the kitchen pots, pans utensils, plates, buckets etc in the kitchen unit. I've got a classic Conway fold up type trailer tent with side lockers in the trailer for storage in transit and on site plus the well of the trailer for all the bits and bobs needed on site. The only things we carried in the car were the holdalls for clothes, the 3-way fridge, the pillows and a few odds and ends.
You do have to be aware of the payload weight of your TT btw (mine is 125kg) and pack it so that the nose weight is kept to, in practice this means heavy stuff over the axle. You can get a storage box to fit on some drawbars but remember anything in the box has to be counted into the payload, plus the box itself of course. Ditto top racks for bikes, some folk put a roofbox on top but you'd need to be really careful about heavy stuff up in that.
You can leave quite a lot of gear in the TT between trips if you get organised. Make sure your storage boxes fit in the trailer well when it's folded down btw, I found two folding crates were the right height for mine.
Can't help you on the electrics, we just used a standard EHU in our old Conway.

We have a Trigano Galleon with a front box, also has storage in the bench seats and the floor area between the beds. However, the storage under the benches is mostly taken up with the awning, canopy and poles. We still manage to fit in everything we need, inc: bedding & pillows 1 x table and 4 stools 4 x camping chairs 1 x gas bottle 2 x collapsible storage units (3 shelf food unit type with hard top) All kitchen utensils go in the kitchen unit. usual small items - EHU, lights, small heater etc. all fit in ok. Then use the car just for clothes, cool box. Although we do have a roof box on the car as for long stays we found the kids wanted to bring footballs, tennis rackets, inflatables for the pool! etc. Lights and sockets don't come fitted, so that would be a DIY job.
