Hello Allan,
I am not sure that there is an easy answer as it depends
upon ones technical abilities, hobbies and ease of access to Wal-Mart.
I love working with my hands and making repairs and
modifications and we are hours from civilization. So, we probably carry many
more tools than the average camper. </span>Of
course, consolidation is mandatory.
Consider what tools and part that you may need to make quick
repairs while traveling. I stole part of this list from Carl:
A combination wrench set, standard and metric.
A �� and �� socket wrench set, standard and metric.
A changeable bit screw driver set. Include square drive bits, a lot of square
drive screws are used in RVs.
A multimeter.
A 3-lamp AC circuit tester.
A combination wire cutter and stripper and connection crimper.
A light 8-12 oz ball peen hammer.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

A hack saw.</span>
Flash light / trouble light, those multiple
LED rechargeable are fantastic.</span>
Channel Lock pliers for hose connections
and plumbing.</span>
A �� drive cordless drill. (when not being
used for lowering the stabilizing jacks to the same tension, you can drill,
grind or polish.)</span>
For emergency repairs: Mechanical wire, rope,
tow strap, Gorilla tape, tire repair kit, roof patch, ultra silicone caulk, WD-40,
silicon spray, penetrating oil, square drive (self drilling) screws.</span>
Electrical: When you arrive plug in a
circuit tester to make sure the campground pedestal is wired correctly. We then
plug in an inexpensive surge protector (>$125.00) and then the RV cord into
it (It has kicked out on safety several times). Get one of those analog volt
meters that plug into a 120acV receptacle. You will be amazed at the fluctuations
in supply voltage. Take along electrical tape, fuses, electrical crimp
connectors, zip ties and a few feet of stranded electrical wire.</span>
My apologies, it seems I am going on and
on. Thank you, as you have caused me to create a check list. Have Fun out
there.</span>
