12v compressors don't last long on 80 and 110 psi tires. Since I carry a small generator, I found a Senco 1 gallon compressor at HD. It is small, light and quiet. It works great.
I also started carrying Some Flex-Seal spray and tape. It's great for temporary (or permanent) repairs and comes in many colors, including clear.

tire changing ramp
One item I didn't see in prior replies, if you have a dual-axle trailer, is a tandem tire changing ramp (several manufacturers out there). You just drive the same-side good tire onto the ramp which lifts the flat tire from 4" to 5" depending on model. In my experience, trying to get 4" of axle lift that my FW required was a lot of work with my compact bottle jack. And it is a LOT faster than using a jack.

Prevention vs fix
Great tool lists, but I consider my battery Delco impact/torque driver & socket my most valuable tool. When on the road I check the wheel lugs every couple of days for recommended torque, as well as the single locking bolt on the 5th wheel hitch. A 5 minute check I can do, but theres no fixing a wheel that comes off enroute.

Something I just got yesterday was 6 Dickies canvas tool rolls. If you need the tools everyday they're not real convenient but for tools you don't use very often they keep them organized and they keep them from banging together going down the road. Believe it or not I got them from Sears for $12 each plus shipping. Since I counted 118 wrenched I'd like to carry I think I'll have enough for all of them and some other stuff like screwdrivers and ratchets.
Now how do I carry 150 or so sockets? Don't worry I'll figure it out, I'm thinking about some boards with a bunch of holes drilled in them, maybe some of the 1/4 turn holders mounted on a board and a box built around them. Tool chest have way too much wasted space.
