As for extra insulation under the mattress, cardboard has worked well for us. We got a battery-powered cooler to replace the YETI, that draws power from the truck or the shore power. The solar unit isn't enough the keep it powered, though. We use the YETI, too, since a sack of ice lasts a long time. If you are cooking outside in windy places, there are cloths available to shelter both sides of the galley when the hatch is open (I'm forgetting the name of the nice woman who makes them for T@G owners). An awning that you can spread out from one side (and stronger suction cups to attach one side to the roof) are a good investment, as is a portable table and portable chairs. A portable urinal is a good idea for us guys, as are flip flops for anyone who needs to run to the bathhouse in the middle of the night.
The big thing to remember, in my experience, is that you are traveling with a wonderfully cozy queen-sized bed with heat, AC, and music, and an outdoor galley. That's all. Everything else will be outside. Gracious! We could sleep for 24 hours in that cozy camper, but everything else will be outside.
