You seem to have the basics and then some. You can never be prepared every issue. I would ensure you have the tools to change tires and a tire pressure gauge capable to read the pressures of your tires.

RV Checklist

You might check this site out: http://blog.goodsam.com/rv-travel-checklists
Plus as someone mentioned, always a portable air compressor. Need one that rates at least 150 lbs. Good Luck, be careful, and have fun.

If you want to put the best tires on your RV, nothing compares to Michelin LT tires. Goodyear: soft rubber, Sailun: Chinese. Both of those are getting good reviews, just sayin.

Battery charger

I used my battery chargers and jumpers while boondocking. I also carry generators and an inververter. I like boondocks better than rv parks. I also carry 5 gallon jugs of extra water
