Building a diesel pusher spare parts inventory?
I've been gradually adding to my spare parts carried aboard and wondering what others carry? Let's simplify and exclude tools... just spare parts... what are your top 5 or so?
I'm looking for the highest priority items and would be interested how many have needed them while on the road.

I'll start...... Belts...in my case a serpentine as well as an AC compressor belt.
I also always carry a replacement fuel filter.

Inside the PDM there is a 150 fuse. This fuse powers the circuit that powers many things including the HWH pump and all dash functions. The HWH pump will easily pull 200 amps on start up but the fuse is a slow blow so not much of a problem. Except in Whitehorse, YT on a Saturday morning before a Monday holiday while bringing in the FWS. I now carry several.
1) Blue Sea Systems AMI/ MIDI Fuse, 150 amp. (Amazon or West Marine)
2) Valve stem extensions for inside dually
3) Spare batteries for TPMS sensors
4) Misc screws/fasteners
5) Belts and filters

- Filters all - Fuel - Oils - Hydraulic
- Tune up for Hydro Hot
- 5/8" hose and clamps and couplings
- Electrical Connectors - solder - wire
- Light Bulbs for - Brake - Tail - Marker - Backup
These are my Five - I have Used/Needed all of the above - when I read about the Serpentine belts - if you check them they are Rarely subject to Random failure. Top five on my list have all been used multiple times over the years.
Cleaned out the Basement this last winter - The things I carried -  - carry what you need not what you May Need.
JMHO,

I used my spare serpentine belt at 2500 miles on a 2020 London last January. i don't think you can carry every part, but a belt for me is a must. Happy and safe new years to all

At 2,500 miles that is not a Random Failure - that was a Total Screw Up From the plant, I've ran heavy equipment, and big trucks for Years - Never had one Serpentine Belt fail - BUT - we serviced and checked our equipment and trucks every day to avoid that sort of Issue.
Glad you had the Belt though, shows how little the Manufacturers Know about the Actual Chassis the RV is built on. (You Know I just knocked on wood for Securities Sake).

I agree with you, according to Miami Freightliner it was not put on correctly. I am partly to blame for not picking up on this sooner. This London Aire has tested me more than once this year, but on a major plus side I have learned more in 14 months with my LA than 4 1/2 years with my 2016. I am a lot more paranoid with this on
