Jumper cables (20', heavy gage). Long enough to reach from van engine compartment to TM if you leave the ignition on overnight or to aid a damsel or brudder in distress or start a derelict vehicle to get you better access to a job.

How about a Battery Jump Starter instead of Jumper Cables. Mine has a little air compressor also. I charge my electronic toys off of mine also.

Only listing what hasn't been mentioned.

- Mechanical hose ends and a dremel with a cutting wheel. 5 minute fix for black death in the field, only works if you use neptune or the like.

- easy outs to remove broken nipple ends

- demand pump fuse

- 2 ft of weather stripping to temp patch waste tank lid seal
