I’ve had my 2020 Cascadia since last October and have had zero issues but I was just wondering what items I should be keeping with me at all times since I’m an O/O now. Besides fluids, all I really have on me is a fuel filter, hammer, and tire pressure gauge.
What things should I be adding?
And what in your opinion is the longest lasting tire shine and what are your favorite products for keeping your wheels shiny on the road?
What tools/parts to keep in the truck?

Definitely carry a manual siphon, basic wrenches and sockets, needle-nose pliers, screw driver set including the "star" designed ones, allen wrenches, channel locks, a set of vice grips, hammer, a nail puller/crow bar, and fuse tester and crimps. Those tools will get you through in a pinch.
