      My wallet with at least a debit card.

      A coat in case I break down and have to leave the motorhome.

      A duplicate car key isn't something I'd have considered at one time until we were in France a few years ago. A bloke was getting help from reception in getting his Rover to a local dealer to sort his car key. For what ever reason, his existing key wasn't talking to his car. It would have been inconvenient at home, but in France with a Rover would have been a nightmare.
