A VOM meter so I can check voltage for diagnosing an electrical problem and an adustable wrench to remove the positive lead of the battery and a fire extinguisher are on my must have list.
In addition to the items you mentioned I carry in the tool box a small hacksaw and wire strippers and a small hand operated drill and a bit set. I carry a full set of replacement fuses and a couple extra light bulbs for the interior.
Camping related tools include a folding shovel, an axe, and a pruning saw. I also carry 30 feet of strong rope and assorted bungee cords. Add in mechanics hand cleaner and cloth towels that I keep in a plastic bag. I also carry multiple pairs of disposable latex gloves and a pair of leather gloves.
You want to be sure that the jack you have will handle the RV and that the wrench for the lug nuts will provide adequate leverage to remove them. The lug nuts on my truck are torqued at 150 ft lbs and the manufactures lug wrench is not long enough to break them loose without a lot of straining on my part so I carry a cheater pipe section to gain more leverage.
Most repairs can be avoided with proper preventative maintenance. I have the radiator and heater hoses and water pump replaced before they fail. Same goes for the starter battery.
