There's weight and then there's [B]WEIGHT[B]. Under the seats of our dinette (which is in a slide out) I store bulky, lightweight items. If we are taking say 2 cases of bottled water then I'll place them on the floor until we arrive. Things like chairs go under our bed. We'll also travel with bulky lightweight items like chips/snacks, paper towels, etc. in bags on the dinette seats.
Canned goods (we don't use many) go in the bottom of the pantry and bottled water or an ice chest will go over the axles on the floor. I have a SherLine tongue scale that I use to check if we're adding a lot for an extended trip.
