Are you a former boy scout? Always be prepared. Good advice. Often I can loan items out to neighbors who are in need. Batteries, lantern mantles. What do you use the cordless drill for?
Actually, I was not a boy scout. I am a firm believer that chance favors the prepared.
Almost everything in the camper is held together with screws and staples. If I need to get to the fresh water pump, 4 screws on the access panel. 4 screws on the access panel to get to the Converter, the inverter, the transfer switch and the back of the fuse panel and breaker panel. 4 Screws on the access panel for the furnace. Most of these are 2 inch or longer screws.
I always have a screw driver with me (always in my laptop bag), but having a cordless drill is much more convenient. I have a cordless screw driver, but it is not as powerful as the drill and does not have a removable battery.
