    I always carry un scented baby wipes.

    I carry enough tools to replace a light or a belt. Keep your old belts if they are still in one piece. I also cary spare glad hands and rubbers.

    A lot of good suggestions. There's one tool that I carry, that I don't use for it's intended purpose..... 5th Wheel pin puller. I use it when my tarp straps don't fall down the back side of my trailer. I can use it to pull them down. With the type of trailer I pull, we can only drop them when empty. They don't have the dolly/landing gear, but have the light weight aluminum stands.
