We're towing our TAG with a Toyota Highlander. Clothes, food, and the cooler stay in the car since we're frequently in bear country. Everything else goes into the TAG when we tow. We do have a tarp down inside the TAG and move the two mattresses to the middle on top of it (had a leak one time early on). Then we put the sleeping bags/pillows on top. Large items (canopy, chairs, tables) have their own bags and go on either side of the mattresses. The one thing we did recently is purchase several large rubbermaid-type baskets with lids. Everything that fits goes into these (carpets, kitchen stuff that doesn't fit in the cabinet in the kitchen area, paper products, towels, athletic gear/bike stuff, etc.). The reason is that when we unpack at a campsite, if it rains (or when it rains) everything outside the TAG is in a rainproof bin. Then we don't have to deal with additional tarps or worse - wet stuff.
