Curious what everyone has in their tool box on their RV or camper.. I am starting to put together one and curious what the most common tools, and replacement parts are kept on board.For me, most likely will piece together:socket sets, deep and shallow, standard and metricwrenches standard and metricwire cutterschannel locksvise gripslineman pliersHammerRubber head hammerpry barassorted zip tiesduct tapeelectrical supplies and wireextra beltssilicontire plugs and pumpam i missing anything ?:S

folding shovel, hatchet, flashlights, flares and/or road triangles for emergencies. Some also carry wheel chocks and a jack if they have a spare tire.Dave

Where is your multiple-head screwdriver?

I was a "tool" guy and had a full wood shop before retirement. The amazing thing is the most useful tools we have are an inexpensive tool kit designed for apartment residents. It always seems to have the needed tool, is kept inside,and eliminates the need to take out the large tool box.I started my retirement journey with no power tools. The only ones I have had to purchase in the past eight years are a circular saw,(Skill saw for you old guys) and a jig saw. Hope this helps.

Hope for the best and be ready for the worst, this was in my mind when I put together a tool box.

I carry a axe hammer it is two tools in one,plus needle nose pliers. 12 volt tester and electrical tape. Plus what you have on your list.

I have a shop full of tools at home...for the RV - traveling, ease of storage, ease of access, etc. I have one of these. Unless I'm going to completely dis-assemble and rebuild our Duramax diesel this has been more than adequate while on the road.

One of the best is a 3 pound drill hammer or ball-peen hammer. of course, duct tape, and WD-40.

And, do not forget to take your most important tool-----Your credit card. Because, not matter how much you plan, mother nature will zap you with a problem that you have not covered.
