Being Prepaired
Another forum, someone asked about Air Condition quitting.
After a while, you encounter a lot, of these, house problems.
A first timeer might panic when facing this huge complicated RV.
First thing buy a spare water pump and physically find wher it is installed and look at how it is connected, at your leisure.
That will solve a lot aggravation on the road.
Buy spare capacitors, American made, and yes they still make them, for your air conditioner(s) and sail switches or whole thermostats for you environmental controls.
Third, and the Manufacturers should provide a starter kit of these, two or three, minimum, of the 12 volt fuses, each size, and a fuse puller. You you will more than likely appreciate having one, and divided box to keep them in and two breakers, of each size, in the RV.
A spare or two ground fault receptables.
Tool set of 1/4,3/8,1/2 ratchet and extensions and adapters
Screw driver set
Two pairs, of piers, because you will lose one or loan one or bury one.
Circuit tester a good one, and read the manual, and use it a time or two....and wire cutters and wire nut and splice set, with heat shrink tubing.
Three or four or five, and special size socket for, Nylon or other Water Heater Plugs, and teflon tape.
Two good tire pressure gauges, cause you can't find one when you need it.,
And the biggie. I wish I had obtained the Fellow RVers name, one year at American Coach.
He had a large size divided drawer system,, for these tools and extras, situated on a slide. Just like, at home everything you need. He repaired a light for us in about a minute after finding the problem.
I forgot to mention two or three bulbs, of every size and screws that the sizes correspond to reak light hosuing and others sizes
I haven't found the too chest that ill fit our slide yet so, if I can't find the tool or widget or bulb I end up calling a Mobile Tech and that can get expensive.
What did I forget.
