This is a great list for tools. I had the occasion to use a couple bottle jacks when my tongue jack decided it didn't want to work any more. It was a manual crank, but now I have an electric with manual override, but still have those bottle jacks for that AND changing my tires if something should happen. If you have alumdidum wheels you definitely want to torque those to specs and check before each trip. You probably want to do that even if you don't.

Add tire pressure gauge, small amounts of 14, 12, and 10 AWG wire and butt/fork splices and a tool for those, tie wraps, dicor sealant and/or patches but the patches are good for awnings or roofs (very temporary), for your sewer hose see if you can find one of the universal adapters that have many different size threads on them and buy a rubber ring thingy (technical term) too because sometimes you may run into places that don't have good threads on the hookups.

I'm sure there's more. You only need a couple of each thing so don't go overboard. They may look at you a little funny in Lowes or Home Depot when you tell them you only need a couple feet of wire but whatever.
