What repair & maintenance gear do you carry with you?

What every day carry gear do you have in your truck or trailer to deal with RV emergencies? We just got a new to us 2017 Carbon 35 to upgrade from our old fiberglass shell 17' Casita. Body & roof construction especially is way different (and I'm already fighting a roof leak up at the front cap). What repair & maintenance gear do you guys normally carry with you to do emergency fixes on the road?

Gear always in my truck
  • Toolbox
  • Screwdrivers
  • Wrenches
  • Sockets
  • Pliers
  • Hammers
  • Multimeter
  • Fuses
  • Flashlights
  • Tape measurer
  • Ducktape
  • Electrical tape
  • Dry silicon spray lube
  • Penetrating oil (WD40 probably)
  • Electrical contact cleaner
  • Air compressor
  • Spare hitch pins & parts

Trailer (numerous duplicates to what I have in my truck as well)
  • Pipe dope
  • Water heater anode wrench
  • More fuses
  • Cordless drill
  • Outlet tester
  • Fresh & black plumbing hoses & fittings in separate boxes (we normally fill & dump tanks at home for weekend camping so rarely actually need this gear)

Stuff I think I need but don't yet have moving up from a fiberglass shell trailer to a more conventional "stick built, rubber roof" one
  • #8 self taping screws
  • #8 speed nuts
  • EternaBond tape (what size?)
  • Caulking
  • Roll of butyl tape
  • pre-greased 7k axle bearings in a sealed plastic container

Stuff I use to carry in my old fiberglass shell Casita but won't need anymore
  • Rivet gun
  • Rivets
  • pre-greased 3.5k axle bearings in a sealed plastic container
