Spare fuses for both TT and TV. (a couple of each size)
Voltmeter
A pack of screws for the cabinet hinges and other things(#6, #8, #10)
Gorilla Glue
grease
A combo screwdriver that includes the various tips(square, star, slotted, phillips)
channel locks pliers
hammer
large ratchet set that includes a 1/2" drive socket to fit lugnuts
1/2" drive torque wrench to torque lugnuts(100#)
bottle jack(10 or 12 ton)
cordless drill(for the TT stabilizer jacks) and bit to fit same
a good air pressure gauge (you have a compressor)
good voltage surge protection
motor oil
coolant(mixed 50/50)
windshield washer fluid
leveling blocks (I carry 2 sets of the orange ones)
comfortable chairs
beer and wine
And most of this can be purchased at any Walmart, as needed. Carrying all that doesn't leave much room for anything else.
Not sure where you camp but all 4 of my last 4 big trips I was 45 minutes to an hour to the nearest Walmart for most of the trip (sometimes farther like when we were going from White Sands to the North Rim). The only thing on that list that I don't carry is oil and coolant but we have the truck serviced before any big trips.
