I'm making the seats/tables from the same carbon fiber sandwich panel I'll be using for the structure, so that weight would be negligible. Luckily a lot of camping supplies are designed for the new "ultralight backpacking" fad so there's many things like sleeping bags/pillows that would hardly add any weight at all. I'd be piping the heat/AC in from the Tesla via some flexible ducting when needed, and any occasional-use appliances would probably be stored in the Tesla's frunk.
One of the main reasons I don't want a collapsible tent is that they all suck for insulation. I actually have a stash of vacuum insulated panels which are an inch thick and R-40 but they can only be mounted on a rigid structure.
