Better than Duct Tape is Gorilla Tape. It holds better, lasts longer, and is overall a much better product.

Scanning what other people have posted (and haven't seen), I also keep a 3/4" socket and a battery-powered drill for the stabilizers.

Okay, I had to look up shark bites.
 The only water problem I've ever had was in my PleasureWay when a feeder line under the sink let go. Luckily I was on my way home so I just let the repair shop be the contortionist on that one. Thanks for all the ideas. Keep 'em coming! |

We also carry some shark bites, a couple feet of pex tubing and a little bit of wire/connectors.
in case of any electrical or water problems. |

I will add:
a couple spare light bulbs for light fixtures if not LED a few of the blade fuses that match the ones in your control panel I would substitute a battery operated drill with charger for an electric one if you intend to boondock A roll of electrical tape and at least a few strips of waterproofing tape like Eternabond A tube of dielectric grease because sometimes the bulb didn’t burn out, the connection is just bad.

My tow vehicle is a 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD V6 with a factory tow package. I'll take a look at the jack. Good thought. Thanks!

I was able to avoid carrying a dedicated jack for the trailer once I found that my Highlanders scissors jack did a great job lifting it. It is one of those jacks with a slot to engage a flange on the rocker panel and it worked perfectly to engage the flanges on the rpod axle that attach the axle to the frame. The point is to take a look at your tow vehicle jack to see if it will also work on your trailer before going to the expense and added weight of a floor jack.

I am old school in that if it seems to good of a price to be true . . . .anyway your words are resonating . . .yes probably cheaply built but on the other hand hopefully you won't need to use it very often if at all. Also purchased a 2 ton trolly jack from HF 6 years ago and paid $ 89 for it. Pretty nice as it comes in its own plastic case and has been used a lot for changing (summer to snow) tires and rotating them as well. Works well lifting our Explorer and F-150.
