  • Hi,

    What kinds of things do you intend to fix, and what can wait until after you get home? I have the socket to remove my tires, and recommend the same, even if you do not have a spare, it is required for any tow truck showing up. Sure it would be rare that they would not have one, but who knows? You might get a flat in the middle of noplace, and have someone need it to install your tire for you.

    Volt meter for sure. If it is hot, and you are in a 30 amp campground, you need to check the voltage all the time, so a plug in meter too. If it dips below 105 volts, either shut off the A/C or plug in a "Autoformer" or other voltage booster.

    Some wire, connections, spare interior light bulbs, comet.

    Spread comet around the tires if you find ants trying to get in.

    Pliers, adjustable wrench, adapter for a drill to move the jacks up and down if you have a travel trailer.

    Flashlight, rechargable batteries and charger. Ryobi makes a really nice 18 volt flashlight that works with their drills and other 18 volt things. They also make some compact 4 volt that fits in a pocket.

    Spare fuel filter if a diesel, you can get a tank of bad fuel and quickly plug a new filter.

    Most other spare parts can be found in the towns that you are traveling through.

    Fred.

    I have one of those multi piece kits from Costco, End wrenches, pliers,
    etc. Plus Volt meter, test lite and assorted nuts and bolts. Always had what I needed.
