I keep spare keys in my pocket.  For other cars, that's in case I lock the key inside the car.  For the camper, it's in case I lose the key.  But it has caused me to leave the gas cap behind more than once.  That was the only time it was a long trip back.  When I got back, after two hours of driving, there the gas cap and keys were, on top of the pump.  mcneely
