Any other toolkit advice appreciated.
As someone who owned a 2006 Winnebago View with the 5 cyl Mercedes diesel for four years and put more than 40,000 miles on it, there is one 'must have' for your tool kit.
A ScanGauge II. You'll need this so you can connect to the ODBC port and clear codes when the diesel goes into Limp Home Mode. Without being able to clear the codes, you could be stuck waiting for a tow truck for a long time.
You may also want a spare Air Temperature Sensor. This is a $30 part, which had a high failure rate in 2005 - 2007. Easy to replace - no tools required.
If it hasn't already been taken care of, you'll also want a replacement turbo resonator - as these also have a high rate of failure.
After two turbo resonator failures, I upgraded to the all metal riordanco turbo resonator failure. No more failures after that.
