MitchF150, Nice on the road temporary fix. “Necessity is the Mother of Invention”!
I fully agree with carrying lots of tools and emergency repair parts! There will always be repairs while on outings. Those that carry no to minimal tools and repair stuff/parts.....apparently camp only near cities or RV repair services. Over 30 + years of RV’ing I’ve done more than my share of emergency repairs.... from replacing a broken ignitor of the refrigerator (during a snow storm), replacing a complete brake /hub assembly ( in single digit temps), a broken spring in a truck stop lot ( temps in mid teens), to replacing broken hydraulic disc brake line ( 90 + degrees), and the list goes on. Anyone reading this should have noted the common denominator......weather! Things never break in “nice” weather! :B
And, like yourself.....traveling “without” water is incomprehensible! Some many potential uses/needs for water when on the road! memtb
