I hope to be on the road by mid October.  4x4 3/4 ton truck and 18ft tt. I have a pretty good list but know I will miss something.  What's the most likely things I have forgot??
 
You will probably wake up and forget where you are.
 
It's not like you're setting off to sea. If you forget something, go buy one.
 
Sleep.
You will spend all night thinking that someone has noticed you and your rig or actually cares.
So, you will start at every noise and peak out the windows every 10 minutes.
 
It will be something really small, like nail clippers.
 
Your bath robe.  Seriously, it's a nice thing to have when on the road if you've got the space!
 
Small air compressor and a jump starter.Two best investments for a single woman on the road.

I will do very little stealth camping. I'm that guy that goes further than most to get to the really remote places. Grew up in Michigan camping in the national forests.
 
The two most requested items people ask to borrow from me are : lighter or flame and warm blanket.
 
Can opener! I always lose mine. Find a good place for it and make sure to put it back(do as I say not as I do)after you use it.

I understand the point of having a flare, especially a road flare...

But a flare *gun*? What advantage for shooting your road flare into the sky? Certainly won't need to call down airstrikes in non-combat.
