I would add a "Trailer Aid" for changing tires. Check it before you travel to be sure it will lift high enough without some boards under it. Amazon should have them. I have a cheap volt ohm meter that is still in the wrapper in case I have an electrical issue. Lots of electrical adapters....50 amp to 30, 30 to household 110, etc. A Harbor Freight torque wrench with an extension and socket for the trailer and truck.

Fold-up ladder. Got ours at CW for around $80. Extra ratcheting tie downs. Extra cardboard boxes folded flat til you need them. Gorilla tape. Swifter refills and microfiber rags for dusting/cleaning.

I will reiterate a couple items......beer, zip ties, zip ties of varying lengths and a little extra beer for after the times you've fixed something with your spray lube, Gorilla tape and zip ties.

Here is an idea from the school of hard knocks...
Buddy of ours had his trailer stolen, he had a hitch lock but the thieves just took the chains and wrapped them around their hitch and drove away. So wrap the chains around the jack post and secure them with a good lock. I put mine in behind the post so it was very hard to reach with a universal lock remover (ie bolt cutters)

Also consider installing water sensors, you can get them real cheap at Radio Shack. I put them under the kitchen and bathroom sinks so any leaks are quickly detected. I had one under the bathroom sink when it started leaking and we were able to correct the problem before it became a big issue.

Also highly recommend pressure and temperature sensors on all of the wheels, great piece of mind when you’re traveling. You will have to replace the valve stems with metal ones but well worth the price.

I had a blow out that took out 3 gas lines. I was lucky in that I could cut and splice the lines. Had trouble finding parts. Did get parts in another town.
Don't forget caps incase you don't have enough parts. At least you could get part of your stuff working.

I now carry the parts and tools. Well, I may need more copper tubing.
Also, Gorilla tape to tape any rips in the water membrane about the tire.
