what are the most common things that break?
I have seen several threads asking what tools should be in the rv toolbox. The electrician will list multimeters and connectors and a welder will say..you know how it goes. So maybe a better way...

After 13 years on our Class A diesel - half full time, half half time:
Problems in order of annoyance: first plumbing; second electrical (12v and 120v); third appliances (furnaces, water heater, microwave, cooktop); fourth maintenance of engine, chassis, generator; and fifth furnishings including flooring.
What burns my toast is having a problem that I will have to buy something (tools/parts/etc.) to accomplish the fix when the needed tools and parts are sitting in my storage but have been left behind. Therefore, I carry a half a dozen tool boxes plus lots of parts.
Having to buy stuff not only costs money, it can cost a lot of time especially if you need something that isn't readily available where you happen to be when you need it (especially on our Alaska trips).
Fortunately, we have plenty of space and weight carrying capacity to carry stuff we might not need.
