Another thing to keep in mind is that over the axles is the place with the least bouncing in the rig. So that's a good place to put things you don't want to bounce a lot. In our 3400, that means just aft of the kitchen sink. We've gone 200 to 300 miles sometimes and a drinking glass next to the faucet has not moved. A few times it fell off but that's pretty rare.
Also, anything you put behind the axles will bounce more because it is "unsprung weight." Also, any weight you put behind the axles, reduces the pinweight on the bed of the truck. Anything forward of the axles adds to the pinweight. Most likely you'll not need to worry about that.
We run heavy but we try to live our life as close to the same as we did in our stationary home. So, if it's something we want to have with us, it goes with us. For example, I have some boxes full of nuts and bolts and miscellaneous hardware. It has come in handy several times.
