You will need a hose to fill your fresh water. If dry camping and filling the tank, this may be your garden hose (and left at home); if hookups, it may be a hose you take to connect to the water outlet at the site.
You will need a dump kit - sewer hose, rinse garden hose, connectors. If you use your toilet, you will need this regardless of how you camp.
Flashlights - Not every place will have outdoor lighting. In addition, if you breakdown on the side of the road, etc., you'll need a light to repair by. A few of different styles (torch, worklight, table light, mini, etc.) is best.
Basic toolbox kit - start with the basic: screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, pliers, multimeter, duct tape, electrical tape, etc. As you go, you will add to this with more specialized items.
Everything else is optional, dependent upon how you RV, what type of places you go, and your own personal wants and needs.
As you go, you will add a lot of items to your "must have" supply. Much of that will end up being "never even touched except to move out of the way". Every year, go through your supplies and pull out those that are dead weight.
