Tools?
Has anyone ever figured out exactly which tools you need to have in your tool box for a travel trailer? I have a full set and it is heavy.......I don't think that you need every socket made, every end...

I have a whole shop full of tools. I carry this while camping (and a credit card.) Absolutely no need to bring enough tools and spare parts to complete refit an aircraft carrier.

My awning wouldn't go up one time when we were ready to leave the campground. Motor ran but the spindle just turned through the stripped cap. I had the simple screw drivers to get in to it. Then we broke out a hair pin and some aluminum foil to make a "key" to fill in between the old flat surfaces of the shaft and the cap. Rolled up the awning then put ratchet straps around the whole rig to make sure it didn't unwind while going down the road.

I also bring an air compressor/portable power box, floor jack, monkey wrench, fuses, trailer light wiring, and a slew of extra screws and nuts. Gotta fix the kids bikes, boat, truck and camper sometimes.
