Yep our kit level kind of peaked a couple of years back, I try and keep it all under control, just replacing old stuff with better versions of new stuff.
Recently the melamine crockery went, replaced by Corelle crockery.
So with Trailer, Trailer RoofBox, Trailer Tongue Box and car RoofBox along with 8 of those "Really Usefull" 43lt strong plastic box's sadly numbered 1 through to 8 we kinda have a system, it's all on a stupidly long check list, which gets printed of about a week before we go.
It is all madness really, but it is all part of our holiday, which we only do once per year, for our 3 weeks away to the South of France in summer.

We get everything we need in the back of a Passat estate. All the cooking stuff except for stove and gas bottle fit in a storage crate about 2'6" by 1'6", all our camping odds and sods (mallet, lanterns, spare batteries, windbreak, pegs for every eventuality, gaffer tape and so on) fits in another. The airbed, pump and blankets are in an Ikea big blue bag, sleeping bags and pillows are used to wedge everything else in and stop it rattling around.
We take 2 small holdalls each as it's easier to cram in several small bags than one large one, and we use a cool bag rather than a box as it's less bulky. We have a small folding table for eating at and a folding camping kitchen, plus 2 chairs.
We have another bag full of "dog stuff" - towels, bowls, spare leads, tie-out stakes etc and a big dog cage that goes in the "living room" of the tent for them to go in if they're spooked by thunder or anything, and they travel in cages on the back of the folded-down rear seat.
We're determined to resist getting a roof box, and are going to do a comprehensive audit of all the kit before we go away in June. I reckon we can downsize a bit.
Not using EHU really cuts down on what you need/want to take.
