Although I don't know the intimate details of your system I would suggest spares of virtually everything. The exception would be the tanks and chemical hose. Our truck is fully equipped with Plano fishing tackle boxes that we store all our spare fittings, screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. We also carry two spare pumps and a extra battery.
Our extension poles are housed in a 10' section of 4" pvc tubing with a screw in end cap and clamped to the side of the ladder rack.
For tools we carry a tool bag with nut drivers, screw drivers, channel locks, adjustable wrench, wire brush, tin snips and wire ties.
I know this might sound like a lot. For me I'd rather carry these items on my truck than have to shut a job down and return later or the next day. Besides the additional cost associated with an issue like this there is an image cost in the eyes of the homeowner.

Plant wash, orange cones, bbb membership, small variety of tools, extra wands, hose clamps, quick changes, go with bleach wash for windows and air condensing units outside. Usually it is the second story window that get missed. Need distance, I use and old winded window washing system with BW mixed and spray 2 and 3rd stories, pre inspection form, rags for sweat, rubber boots can get nasty on some jobs. Lowes online white ones for $20, sun block if sunny makes your night much easier to sleep, we use old Walmart bags to wrap speakers and intercoms, might need small bags for exterior fans,
I would have to look at the truck to remember more.
Hope this helps
Extra pump too. Never know when it is gonna go out on ya.
Ladder stand off as well
I would get a small rope to use for pulling up wand if easy access from rear...never know. Plus cheaper harbor freight $1.99
Get some boxes of the gloves that AC has in picture. Don't use as much in summer but winter makes a huge difference and keeps heat in.
Go to queensboro.com and get some shirt. $10 with embroided logo
Ok I can go on forever. Start with what we have so far and then get back with me ill remember more by then
