Very nice way that you have got all the things you need or may need when out camping. Some people overthink these things, and take a lot more than needed,
I've learned over time that one cannot carry a lot more than is needed because one cannot ever plan or estimate ahead of time what will be needed. One can only take a lot more that they can afford or find room for. :B
Our Class C has way more weight carrying capacity than the coach itself requires (24 footer on an E450 chassis), so it's not relevant how much we take weight-wise. We also lucked out at purchase time with a model that has gobs of storage capacity for only two people, so it's not relevant how much we stuff in volume-wise until it's full ... the point it's finally getting close to after having owned it around eight years.
However and FWIW:
I already had such odd-ball things as a backup battery charger and the small but mighty 120 volt AC air compressor when we bought the RV, so I just threw them in. Our backup very quiet small Honda generator was given to us way before we bought the RV so I just threw it in and have since found out how valuable it can be.
The beach umbrella was a wonderful thing to have along when we unexpectedly found ourselves along a Lake Erie sandy beach on a spectacular blue-sky warm day.
When RV'ing in Ohio a few years ago I was able to help out a TT owner who had a problem hitching up by loaning him our high lift hydraulic jack. The reason I thought I was carrying a high lift jack along was in case we were to ever get a flat boondocking out in the middle of nowhere on a soft surface when ERS can't be reached or won't come to us.
You never know - it's better to be fully satisfied than mildly sorry when you're out and about in an RV. :C
