Hi, Steve!

good torque wrench……TT wheel lugs should be checked before each trip (more often on long trip) + tire change

TT jack (tire change)……I carry 2-ton floor jack and wood blocks

calibrated air pressure gauge…..check tire psi often to maintain max psi cold

30 amp to 15 amp adapter

tow mirrors for tow vehicle (Search "tow mirror" thread (dated April, 2010)

30 to 15 amp dogbone and 15 amp outlet adapter strip, with volt meter + reverse polarity gauge for checking electrical tower (post) at campsite

extra 10 or 12 AWG extension cord……for horse shows, county fairs, etc. where power is at some distance

water filtration device for "City Water hook-up"……best to filter out fine sand before it gets into plumbing

12 volt dc fan + cigar lighter (male) adapter (NAPA Auto Parts have components in stock)

12 volt dc LCD TV for boondocking

12 volt dc CD Receiver (AM/FM/CD car radio) + mounted speakers + 31″ roof antenna (Leisure Time Marketing / Audiovox HS-519L (24-2160) can be mounted on roof or side of TT)

paper towel roll holder……kitchen area

TP holder for half-moon facilities

several pair rubber gloves (throw away after handling any potential sewage contaminated device)

spare light bulbs and fuses

BOTH

You might throw in a roll of duct tape, its good for if a stone hits a window and breaks it, your power cord receptable keeps falling out of the electrical connector box,a pipe gets a leak…all sorts of things.

I've got the following queued up in my Amazon cart …

15M/30FM Amp adapter

25ft drinking water hose

RV water filter 100 microns

Things I'm debating on getting still …

Leveler pads – Not sure how often I would really need them

2 ton floor jack – I really need a recommendation because there are so many with bad reviews.

Things I already have …

2 Wheel chocks

4 Stabilizer jack pads

1 Brass water pressure regulator

1 Sewage pipe kit

Duct tape

AWG extension cord 25ft

Tire pressure gauge

Tools galore

Anyone got anything else they consider essential to external trailer ops?

I almost forgot to mention…a level of somesort …Ive got a cheapo from big lots..its bright orange so its handy to see in the storage area and first thing to grab as I set up in a campspot. I think its a three foot one, I just set it on the floor to check levelness then use my lynx levelers as needed.
