There seem to be broad categories of things missing, but maybe that's intentional.
Soap? Shampoo? Dishes and utensils and cups and napkins? Kleenex? LInens? First aid supplies? Windex and bathroom cleaner and multi-purpose household cleaner?
There are a few items I would definitely add in the general categories you do list: wheel chocks, a window squeegee and bucket, windshield washer fluid, insect repellant (preferably high-DEET), electric space heater, .... There are a few substitutions I would make: gorilla tape for ordinary duct/duck tape jumps out. There are some more personal choices I would have differently, too (fewer tools in general, add my small splitting axe, etc.
Some items are in general categories, only because the list would be quite a bit longer if I went into greater detail.
I added an RV CLEANING SUPPLIES item, which will include the RV brush, and RV windshield squeegee.
When I had a TT, I always brought tire chocks. Don't see much of a need with a Class A. Between the transmission in park, parking brake set, and stabilizers down, not going anywhere. Might be useful when changing a tire, but I'll use my RV insurance if needed, and let them worry about that.
I stopped bringing an axe only because so many FL campgrounds either don't allow campfires, or require you to use their $ firewood.
The electric space heater is covered by HEATER. That also gives me the option of bringing my Buddy Heater if boondocking.
I do have insect repellent listed but realized it was misspelled. The stuff I use is typically 25% DEET. I live only a few miles from the aptly named mosquito lagoon. I've tried the alternatives, including electronic pest repellers, I'll take DEET, thank you.
I have a Mosquito Magnet at home. This is from a few days during the peak of one season. The collection basket was FULL.
