All lubes , oil and tape, wire ties, volt meter/ohms meter flash light, I even have fitting and spare tubing for water leaks. Credit card and insurance policy covering towing and minor stuff , Radiator stop leak is a plus, I just returned from iowa to okla all the way when i started to leave at 1800 the thursday night before the holiday weekend, Radiator started leaking a good stream got to parts store got two tubes of stop leak and filled it up and made it over 500 miles home no problems... now to repair shop to fix it...

Not in the tool box itself but I always carry a couple of the tyvek coveralls that can be slipped on over my clothes if I have to crawl under the coach, or into the engine bay. These are cheap and available at Home depot.
I carry a bright reflective vest to slip on if I have to work on the coach at the side of the road.
I also have a set of the reflective triangles to put out on the highway if I am stuck on the side of the road.

I'm with Phil...that said, EVERY tool box should contain a volt meter and continuity tester. EVERYONE should also know how they WORK.......Dennis

Hi,

What kinds of things do you intend to fix, and what can wait until after you get home? I have the socket to remove my tires, and recommend the same, even if you do not have a spare, it is required for any tow truck showing up. Sure it would be rare that they would not have one, but who knows? You might get a flat in the middle of noplace, and have someone need it to install your tire for you.

Volt meter for sure. If it is hot, and you are in a 30 amp campground, you need to check the voltage all the time, so a plug in meter too. If it dips below 105 volts, either shut off the A/C or plug in a "Autoformer" or other voltage booster.

Some wire, connections, spare interior light bulbs, comet.

Spread comet around the tires if you find ants trying to get in.

Pliers, adjustable wrench, adapter for a drill to move the jacks up and down if you have a travel trailer.

Flashlight, rechargable batteries and charger. Ryobi makes a really nice 18 volt flashlight that works with their drills and other 18 volt things. They also make some compact 4 volt that fits in a pocket.

Spare fuel filter if a diesel, you can get a tank of bad fuel and quickly plug a new filter.

Most other spare parts can be found in the towns that you are traveling through.

Fred.
