I’m going to have a small corded impact wrench with up to 250 ft-lb of torque, which I’ll run off my truck. I’ll have to make sure to have the right sockets. Thanks!

Anything else I need that is RV specific (obviously not talking about things like towels, plates, hand soap, etc).

These are all reasonable except do not need the RV toilet cleaner and grey tank stabilizer. Make sure you buy screens to fit your outside vents IE: furnace vent, water heater vent and fridge vent. You can get on Amazon under $10 each and will prevent mice, mud wasps and other insects from getting in those appliances and building nests that can cause major problems. IMO-- the #1 MOST important accessory that is a must have is a quality EMS or Electrical Management system like Progresive Industries. Don't just get a surge protector. They do NOT protect your expensive appliances from UNDER voltage which is more common than surges caused by a lightening strikes. I cannot tell you how many campgrounds we have been to that this device has shut down power to our TT because of under or over voltage. Also protects against reverse polarity, neutral ground and other common problems with campground pedestals. Look up Progressive Industries EMS on Amazon and read the hundreds of testimonials from customers on this device. Runs about $250 but a mere fraction of the cost of a new fridge, AC unit, microwave or TV.
Thanks for that tip, not something I would have thought of. A few questions about it:
- my trailer runs on 30A. Do I buy the 30A model? What if the park has 50A or 20A and I am using a converter to my trailer, would I still use the 30A model?
- do you recommend the portable or hardwired versions? Portable looks easier to deal with.
- I’m not an electrician. What is the difference between a ‘surge’ and ‘high voltage’? What exactly am I protecting against? If I plug into my home 110V do i still need this?
