Spare keys for the truck and/or camper.
Usually, not needed, but...
While camping at Lake Louisa State Park, FL, I locked my truck and trailer keys in our cargo trailer. The trailer has a ramp door, so I was able to drive the pins out of the latches' pivot points to fold the door down. I made a heck of a racket pounding a framing hammer against whatever tool that I destroyed driving the pins out. None of the passing pedestrian traffic said a word. I don't know why. I was laughing the whole time. It took about 8-10 minutes of pounding to get in the trailer and another 4-5 to put the pins back. I'm glad one of the truck's doors was unlocked so I didn't need to tuck my tail and ask someone to borrow tools.
Now, a magnetic hide-a-key resides under the trailer, shutting the barn door after the horse got out, proper.
