What tools to take? How can anybody say without knowing more about the tool set you carry between your ears?
In a MH you can/will be faced with anything that can go wrong with or in your house, plus what might go wrong with the vehicle. So if you have skills and desire to fix everything, the list is near endless.
I have a question about wrenches; I still have a box of British Standard and Wentworth sized wrenches in garage. I don't carry them because the chance of needing to fix something they fit is near 0. Brother has no Metric tools in his shop, because if it was made after 1970, he will hire somebody to fix it.
Most of the wrenches I own are SAE, but my '05 pickup is all metric. For the last few decades, when need bolts for DIY build, I have bought metric.
Do I still need to carry the SAE tools? Do you?
