A notepad & a pencil. Write down what you find that you need when you find that you need it. Don't buy a cheap & nasty whatever is needed cause you will find that you will only have to buy another, this time a good one like you should have the first time round.
Buy tools to suit. No point carrying around stuff that will never be needed just cause it was a great price as a set. There will be some special sized sockets needed such as for the waterheater anode, bearing nut & a few special tools for things only they can do. A torque wrench is useful as is a battery load tester.
Nice to have certain spares onboard. Having spare wetbolts for the springs came in extremely handy for me in the Yukon last year. Carrying a spare brake drum with bearings mounted can be a savior too.
You learn as you go along.
