What I mean is that if you knew how to work on trucks and trailers, you'd likely already know what tools you're likely to need. So take a basic home tool set for quick tightening and pounding jobs. Credit card for the rest. Know your limitations. I know what I know, and I know what I don't know.
I tend to agree. If you don't have a semi portable toolbox already or know how to diagnose things, a credit card will solve most problems.
My toolbox has deep well sockets, open/box end wrenches, adjustable, monkey, screwdrivers, hammer, multimeter and a few other odds/emds I picked up. I also have a socket set with SAE and metric and 3/6/9" extensions. These go on every car trip. For RVimg, I also take small hydraulic jack/stands because 8 tires doubles the risk. Tt is better when I can fix something myself in 10 minutes to keep us moving and not waste vacation time. For larger issues, credit card.
