I've seen folks carry all sorts of stuff. I carry an extra hitch and ball assembly, I had one stolen once. I know someone who carries a complete hub assembly with brake. Mostly I carry tools and things like some extra wire, connectors, fuses, lug nuts, etc. I also have roadside assistance:) Other than normal stuff, additional hose and power cable, even spare propane tank not mounted on trailer.

Unless you know you are not going to be near a place where parts can be purchased as needed, I see no need to try to carry a mobile workshop to cover every contingency. I do carry a tool kit. Parts can be purchased as needed. Sometimes parts go bad that you would never anticipate. I had a propane pigtail hose go bad. The internal valve stuck and was keeping adequate propane from flowing. I had to stop and purchase a new one. I would never have thought that the hose would go bad, but after I replaced the regulator and it still didn't work, I figured out it was the hose instead. A spare filter and spare fuses are lightweight so they can be carried without adding a lot of weight or taking up much space.

Was pondering this next season of travel and in my constant effort to always be prepared, I was thinking about some possible on-the-road replacement parts to have on hand.  The first thing that came to mind was the propane tank regulator.  I already have spare water filters.  Just wondering if anyone else carries items like these (I'm sure you do) and what else might be included in this list.....may not be much else.
