Long Distance Trailering Necessities

I'm only traveling 2 1/2 hours from Columbia, SC to Beaufort, SC. It's gonna be right around 150 miles each way. Just curious if you guys have any last minute tips on things to bring with you.

This is a tandem axel trailer with 4 tires. On it, a 23ft Key West CC being pulled by a 2003 F250 7.3L diesel. The truck should be mechanically sound and drives great (recent oil & fuel filter change)

The hubs on the trailer have recently been greased.
I have one spare tire for the trailer and one for the truck.
I've got a t-bar that will fit all the truck lugs as well as the boats.
My truck's jack is in good condition and I've got a few pieces of wood in case I have to jack it up in dirt/mud on the side of the road.
CPS w/ a 10mm socket is already in the toolbox.
I've got extra oil for both boat and truck.

All the trailer lights work properly and the safety chains are all in good condition. (two for the trailer, and one on the bow of the boat)

Anything I'm missing?

I should be leaving in an couple hours after I'm finished packing everything....figured I'd try to suck up any info before I left.

Thanks guys!
