Tool list for MH
In preparing for transition to FT, what tools would be appropriate to have in a tool kit? Apology if I have overlooked a previous post. Safe journey out there.:h

When I went full time I took everything but the kitchen sink regrading tools. I can fix anything so I brought everything with!
Only to find out that anything big that needs fixing? Have the RV Mobile Repair guy do it at the CG. He has all the tools and more important all the 'correct' parts to fix it right on board his truck. I wouldn't even pick up a hammer for the low rates these guys charge.
So I swear by RV Mobile Repair done at the CG site. I even have all my maintenance done by them. Imperative when you full time because you never have to leave your MH captive in a service center while you are sitting in a motel waiting for it.
Just sit back in you CG site and have a cold one in the lawn chair while he works on it. AND it is always done within a few hours not days! :W
After one year on the road I got rid of all copious amounts of tools and ended up with this scaled down version:
1. Screw gun w/box of bits and box of drills
2. Regular ole screw driver
3. Hammer
4. Robo grip pliers from Sears.
great for use on hose connections
5. Box of those stupid screws they use on everything on a MH
6. Roll of white duct tape.
Doesn't make your MH look red neck when you have to tape
something down until you can get to a CG to fix it.
7. Small box of Craftsman set of sockets.
