Hi Ned, I imagine there will be lots of feedback on this!

I, of course, went scrambling around looking for the post-it note of
things my dad told us to carry last summer. Alas, can't find it right
now, so off the top of my head: bring spare bulbs for your light
fixtures (in and out), if you have carpet and kids (we have both and a
dog), bring ice-cream buckets. Keep them outside the door of the
trailer, filled with water, and everybody can rinse their feet before
they come back inside (especially where one is near a beach - the sand
gets into everything). Of course, you'll also need a supply of rope and
bungee cords for clotheslines and keeping your airstream door closed,
while on the highway (it works well for us!) We also brought some
heavy-duty citrus cleaner with us and when sewage came up our bathtub
drain, we were very glad to have it (that, and bleach, of course!) oh
yes... and crazy glue is a must!

My dad also had a list of wrenches and metal what-nots, when I find the
list, I'll post these items.

Great question, Ned!
