My advice is a bit different. Surge suppressor, water pressure regulator, fine ideas and necessary for sure but if you can buy it at Wal-Mart do not worry about it.
What you cannot buy at Wal-Mart is the ability, tools and blocking to change a TT or TV tire on a back road someplace. I suggest spare TT and TV tires, torque wrench, jacks, wood shoring blocks and practice changing them before you leave. Also, remember a good 5 gal. gas can.
These items and changing practice were the difference between a couple of half hour delays and waiting for road service to find an old couple stranded on the road in MT.
