That's almost my set up except that I have the sleeping pad and tent in the rack pack, with the sleeping bag in the rear left pannier and my clothes in the rear right pannier. Kitchen stuff goes in front right and misc bike, hygienge, and camp stuff goes in the front right. But it was hard to actually get the front feeling heavier collectively than the rear....there is simply more room in the rear panniers and rack pack =/
