I surfed this forum for that info when we got our "new" LQ and got some really good advice.  Here are a few things that I've really been glad that I had:

Flashlight, changes of clothes, plastic cups, paper towels, toilet paper, lip balm (I found a carry bin at GardenRidge and filled it with stuff I'd want if I were going to use a public shower and put it under the sink),  bottled water, frozen neck wraps to tie around your neck when it's hot, and easily shaken out rugs and a broom.

ENJOY!!

A roll of duct tape - I am not kiddin'  this has come in handy more than once for various reasons. . .

I made a checklist that I use every trip - one for the horses and one for me.  Of course the horses get packed first - LOL.  My husband thinks I am nuts.  Oh well..  . I probably am a little bit.

Baby wipes, so useful for quick cleanups of almost anything anywhere.  A lawn chair for a quick sit down outside, boot jack to pull off boots if need be before going into LQ, trash bags for trash, there is a hose hook up that 90 degrees onto the city water hookup on your LQ, those are handy so there is not a big prying type of bend in the water hose on the side of your rig... in the RV dept of Wally world.  Good luck have fun!  Some Aleve and lip balm are always handy too!

Lawn chair to sit outside.

Outside door mat. Really helps keep from tracking stuff in.

Beer, beer, & more beer.  

  Extra toilet tissue... Take whatever you think you'll need, then double that amount. There will be someone in your ontourage, that will run a little over on their quota!!

  I haven't caught my bra (yet) but I've nearly taken off my tank top while dismounting.

use small travel size bottles for shampoos, conditioner, body soap, etc takes up less room

plenty of towels - bath & kitchen

bug spray, reading materials when you find time to sit or lay down to relax, snacks, dish detergent, liquid hand soap, small folding tables to hold beverage of choice when sitting out side under the awing.

www.rvmat.com  - is a great site for buying outside mats for under the awning.  you can get pretty much any size you want as well as a carry bag. 

I know all you guys (gals!!!) carry these but no one has mentioned thoes great little black plactic pull ties like you use to keep wires together. You can fix anything from a loose water hose to a pair of jeans that the button came off of. And yes, duct tape, not the cheap stuff either! Lastly and most importantly, Gray Goose and access to ice, it's great for the nevers, doesn't smell and doesn't leave you bloated in tinny jeans!

Oh yeah, rain gear too!

Have fun and good luck!

Thanks ya'll!!  The first trip went great!!  I had to borrow a spliter thing for the water hookup cause I was sharing with the camper beside me, I need my own tool kit, I had to borrow 2 different screw drivers from 2 different people.....one of these at midnight!!!!  I had to go to walmart to get sewer hose because my little hole in the ground looked to be half full of leaves so I was afraid to dump in there in case it overflowed and I didn't have enough hose to reach the one beside me so I had to get extra.  Other than the fact that both gas tanks seem to be empty....brand new trailer...2 weeks old and both tanks are empty.  Don't know if I have a problem or maybe they switched tanks, I need to fix that.  Didn't have hot water or heat!!!  It was a little chilly one night but thank goodness for the feather comforter!!!!  I need electrical tape and duct tape and I think that's it.  I should have everything.  Can't wait for the next show!!!!!  Thinking about going to the World Show in Ft. Worth in June....BIG trip for a 12 year old and her mom!!!!  We'll see.  Thanks again!!!

Sounds like you did great and had a good time. Does your A/C not have a heat strip?  They at least take the chill out. I keep a small ceramic heater in my trailer. Warms it right up. Good back up when something goes wrong with the propane. Although, you won't need it in June at Ft. Worth!

I'll second that about the propane on a new trailer. I camped this weekend and was admiring a friend's new trailer when the fridge kept saying 'no LP'. I told him mine did that once or twice after a fresh fill but it turns out he was out of LP. Aparently they didn't fill his tanks very much either.

I like to have lots of those velcro type ties. You can use them for a bunch of stuff and if you need a longer one, they all hook together.  I also find that if you need a hook, the 3M hooks that stick to the wall but will not marr it actually work great.  I use them in the shower to hang a small mesh bag to put all of my soap, conditioner and shampoo in.
