Our first trip was from Indiana to the Everglades and back, with over a month of rambling between. No problems what so ever. Contemplating that Florida trip, I thought; Boy were we lucky.
For our next trip, a six week amble to Glacier Park in western Montana, I did the following;
• Lowered and checked the TVs spare tire, to be sure the mechanism still worked and I knew how to do it. :h
• I picked up a spare TT tire. We did not have one.
• I carried a hydraulic jack and the boards necessary to jack up the TT per the manufactured instruction and practiced doing it.
• I carried a small 120 volt air compressor for topping of the tires if necessary.
• I carried an extra 5 gallons of gas, based on an experience I would rather not discuss.:o
And yes, we did use most them, had a TV flat while sightseeing. :( We developed a leak in one of the TT tires, which the air compressor allow us to get from the campsite to more suitable area for jacking up the TT.
These items were the difference between a twenty minute inconvenience and being that old couple stranded on the road waiting for Emergency Service to find them. :)
We did not need the extra 5 gallons of gas, but I will not leave home without it. :W
