Nope quite normal for camping two up. Most of it is female extras required for camping trips.

Shoes, make up, sink, bath , etc

I find the bike handles better 2 up anyway, well, it feels alot more planted. I need to get that GSXR1000 shock on it soon.

Buy one that fits in your ruck-sac.
If it's too big... buy a bigger bag!

Tents are easy to pack on bike, buy one big enough to be comfortable with kit + you inside.

Vango we have is nice because the porch is same size as inside part with good groundsheet, so lots of dry room for kit.
