Along with those items already stated (I may duplicate previous post). As we boondock a bit (miles from anywhere....heck we live miles from anywhere :) ), we take a lot. Electric test meter, fuses (tow vehicle/5er), quality (3M cold weather use) electrical tape, shrink/crimp wire connectors, spare bulbs, and zip-ties. Coveralls, gloves, small tarp ( when you have to crawl under in snow/ mud, etc.). Tire plug kit, small air compressor, air pressure gauge, oil (generator/ tow vehicle), premixed antifreeze, brake fluid ( if you have hydraulic disc brakes on 5er), cables/chains for both ( especially the 5er if you do any winter towing), ratchet straps ( multitude of uses... can even hold axle up if you burn a wheel bearing).
If you have the clothing/ tools/ability you can ( though not fun), change-out hub, bearings, and “dress” spindle with a file at a campsite. SEE....above note about burned wheel bearing! Proper clothing.....important when day time temps in single digits.
If you RV enough.you will experience everything the RV lifestyle has to offer.... good and bad! :)
