What's in your toolbox?

I want to put together a toolkit to leave in the RV so I'll be able to make repairs if something comes up. I know I need vise grips, a hammer, and some Fiber Fix. I'm talking about the 1% of problems that come up that can't be fixed with those three tools.

So far I have:
Fuse kit
butt connectors
hose washers
nylon rope
paracord
plastic tarp
screws
test light
multimeter


What do you carry? And what do you carry it in?
The DeWalt TSTAK & drawers looks interesting. I think Home Depot carries them so I'll have to take a look.

    tools I use the most and on every RV trip: tire gauge, rubber gloves, leather gloves, channel lock pliers, pocket knife, and multi tip screwdriver.

    I have a shovel, axe, and come-along in the truck along with tire changing jacks, torque ratchet and heavy deep wall sockets. I also keep tire chains for the truck and a torque multiplier in the truck because they are the items that are hard to find in small towns and have saved my trip on multiple occasions.

    Old Biscuit must have packed my box too, that's what's in one of my storage bays.
