what you use to put under a door to keep it open. We used them to hold open door of rooms we had cleared. You would be surprised how you can use them on the road. I also keep quite a few solid D rings.

I'd forego the vacuum in favor of a small wisk broom.
Toiletries is kind of vague so I'll assume you meant a shower bag? Make sure you have a pair of flip flops in there.
Paper towels
Kleenex
ASPIRIN!
Work gloves
Fleece liner gloves if you'll be working out in the elements - tank/flat
Small first aid kit to include; various bandaids, gauze and tape, neosporin, ASPIRIN!, pepto, etc
I assume you'll bring a laptop?
Good books - you never know
I like to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer. Not every bathroom we get the privilege of using has hand soap.
Laundry detergent if you'll be out longer than a week
Simple green does a good job of cleaning the rubber floors
Glass cleaner - it's that time of year and it's amazing how nasty your mirrors can get and the wash bucket at the TS is slush.
Mini stapler/ staple remover
Scotch, duct, and packing tape - paperwork, general use, securing hazmat placards
That's it for now.
Few more things;
Lip balm
Hand/body moisturizer
Lamisil - even with flops I've managed to pick up a fungus
*I'm back again
Super glue
Scissors
I like the Lysol wipes for the dash/ interior
A fat black magic marker
Clipboard
Once you get out here, one of those seatback organizers is really nice to have to organize all this crap
Cologne to make the fuel desk clerk swoon
Anti gel
Extra Batteries
Tire Pressure Gage
Wet wipes
