Default Must Haves for maiden voyage home?

Hello!

My husband and I will be traveling four hours south this Saturday to pick up our new to us 2004 2619. We've been tent campers for many years, so we're learning about towing and campers as we go.

Besides very obvious things we'll need in place, such as correct hitch, wiring, and brake controller (Prodigy, hope to have that installed tomorrow!) - what other items do you all recommend we bring with us?

List so far:

Bottle jack (plus floor jack?)
jack stands - overkill?
High psi tire gauge
Portable compressor
Infrared temperature gun for checking bearings
Basic tool kit - any ones specific to TMs we should have?
Road hazard kit with reflective triangle
Wheel chucks
Locking hitch pin - any other things we need locks for?

I have downloaded Mike & Kelly's manual- thanks!

Roll of paper towels / grease gun, two tubes of NLGI-2
(can you tell I'm paranoid? haha)

There is a Harbor Freight in our area, which I noticed everyone recommends.

We'll be running on flatlands with '07 Jeep Commander TV, so we're not concerned about cooling/tranny issues at this time.

The PO tells us the tires are 'like new', but we plan to replace at home and have bearings repacked, brakes checked etc.

We're very excited about graduating to a TM after reading so many good comments and reviews of their campers! It will be a relief to pull it safely into our driveway, though, with us being such newbies. The forum is soooo helpful.
