A couple of things not mentioned ... Not sure if they qualify as tools but nice to have when you need them:
Tow strap (been stuck a few times)
22" breaker bar for changing tires
Cheater hose
Plastic tarp
Small shovel
Oh, and a bottle opener for my beer!

Cheater Hose / Water Theif = Some of the state parks around here have water spigots with no thread to attach a hose (when filling your water tank). You can buy one like in the picture or make one from an old hose.

You can never have enough tools sometimes. Last month I went camping, antenna would not rotate, wish I had a ladder so I could find the problem. I do not have a ladder installed. Brain went click, click...oh, I have a former supervisor that lives not far from the campground where I was at. I called him, went and got his ladder, found my problem and took his ladder back. Sometimes it is knowing what is available in the area!

I have a roof ladder and I still carry a collapsible 6' step ladder.

I guess I need to invest in one of those to add to my other stuff. I know a few months ago I had to roll my awning up by standing on a fish cleaning table, lucky it was there. Although I was about 30 miles from home I could have went back and got my ladder. On the hunt now for a ladder...

Can't agree more on the cable ties- never enough! Have the water thief, haven't had to use it yet. Lets see- jack stand, torque wrench, charger for the cordless power tools, white lithium for the wheel studs so the lugs don't seize, jumper box( started 2 other RV'ers and two tenters when the kids left the door open!). Hmm, I need a tarp! 😝

Don't forget the big old 30amp fuse for your brake controller in your TV. I have had one pop in my 08 Dodge and the Super Duty. They are a special fuse and not available at places like Walmart also if memory serve me well over 5 bux. Best bet if you get to a scrap yard is to try and find a few of them to keep with you. In the Fords and Dodges they are in the power distribution box under the hood.
