Default I'm assembling a small tool bag to carry in the trunk - what tools do you carry?

First and most importantly, I have a very compehensive roadside assistance program, which with my motorhome I find to be the best possible tool to carry.

I'm trying to plan what tools to carry. I certainly don't want to carry an entire toolbox, just enough to make a quick repair to get me to a better place to work on the car (hopefully). Here's what I am thinking so far:
- Duct tape and hoseclamps, for obvious reasons. If you can't fix it with hoseclamps and duct tape, it's never gonna be fixed.
-3/8 Ratchet handle, extension, and 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8 and 3/4 sockets
-Sparkplug socket
-Small wire brush
-Small plug gap tool
-3/8 drive flex adapter
-Flashlight. Those little Harbor Freight ones with the 3 AAA batteries work really well, and they're only about $3.
-Ball Peen hammer
-Lead Hammer and safety wire
-3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8 and 3/4 combo wrenches
-Small and larger adjustable wrench
-Small and medium size phillips and flat screwdrivers
-Small VOM
-electrical tape
-Diagonal, needle nose and "water pump" pliers
-Just a few spare fuses
-Spare fan belt

I'm trying to keep the bag small. This looks like alot, but I already loaded the bag with all this with these tools from home and it's not bad at all. It all fits in a medium sized tool bag. Am I missing something that you guys carry that you think should be in here?
