Electrical tools to take ?
What kinds of electrical tools and items do you keep in your RV ? I want to have the necessary items to at least "attempt' to fix or diagnose a problem when it arises, but I'm certainly no electricia...

IMO that's a pretty good list and you can get a decent combination AC/DC clamp-on ammeter and multimeter so one tool can serve both purposes. That along with a small soldering iron, solder, various fuzes/bulbs and a couple of rolls of electrical tape (both the vinyl and thick rubber type) covers most of the actual specific electrical type items needed. I really don't worry about this much since I have everything tool wise in my Van to start with anyway except for a floor jack. The only two things I have to put in the Van for each trip is my rotor tool tackle box and my small tackle box with my digital multimeter and my AC/DC clamp on ammeter both of which I keep in the house for better access/use. My rotor tool box is sort of a grab bag of things since it's one of the LARGE tackle boxes and has a clamp on vise, coping saw, rotor tool, multi-mate tool, label maker, etc. all in one and I have every rotor and multi-mate attachment made for those.
