Spare Parts

Hello all! Now that the honeymoon phase has worn off with my new TT, my fiancé and I were talking about the spare parts we should always carry. He knew someone who couldn't tow his TT home because the slide wouldn't go back in. What are some of the spare parts you recommend we always carry for things like that?

    Make a list of the 12 volt DC fuses, buy the appropriate ones.
    Lamps, go through rig and write down bulb numbers, carry spares. Don't forget tail/brake lights
    Tools will be next issue to make list of.
    Test light
    Multi-tip screwdriver
    lug wrench that fits
    Jack
    Air pressure gauge


    I agree with this.

    While making up your binder is not new and I did put if off many times, what convinced me was some people that their water pump didn't work and they had no idea what to do or even where pump was located. You don't have to be a "master" mechanic" by any means but being at the mercy of others is not a good feeling either.


    Luckily my fiancé is a bit of a McGyver. He claims he can fix anything and so far he seems to be correct. :-) This weekend, we were on the water in his boat and the water pump to fill up his fat sack stopped working. He re-wired it with no tools or tape in about 5 minutes and it worked fine. On the other hand, on the way home he had a blow out on his boat trailer. Guess what? No spare tire. I mean, whut? LOL


    Um,,,, I hope that you are not saying something bad about your boyfriends personal health/body shape..... What is a Fat Sack ???

    A Fat Sac is a ballast bag for a boat. It is used to tune the boat's wake for optimal wakeboarding.
