Good catch. I could use the truck's jack on our old trailer. Need something a bit taller for the new one. Had been debating on the telescoping ladder a bit as the Carbon doesn't have one bolted to the side. I always carry a Vair 400 beefy 12v compressor in the truck for airing up. I have more tools than normal as I do tractor work on the side & pull the tractor with the same truck.
We mostly boondock for weekends & stuff, much less campsite things & I don't recall ever having hookups with the old trailer except sitting next to the house. So stuff like a busted water heater would be annoying, but we lived without a working one for a year or 2 in the old camper before I bothered replacing it. I tend to skew towards the patch it up to get back to civilization or get back home for major repairs.
I have the flushing & sprayer gear. But I never took them with on our old smaller camper as space was at a premium. We always filled, dumped & cleaned when we got home as I have the appropriate facilities here.
Everybody has way different camping styles & that's a whole different load of gear. Not even wanting to delve into that ball of wax, just highlights for emergency repair gear I may have not thought about but should have with the new trailer style.
