Rv toolbox

Put together a tool box for the rv, all the usual stuff, but on my last trip to wally world before our trip i purchased a multi tool from theircamping section. Has about 8 different tools and fits on your belt. Used that darned thing about half dozen times and it saved me running tothe tool box. About 9 dollars, worth every penny.

1. 10" Channellock pliers
2. 8" adjustable wrench
3. 5-in-1 screwdriver (Klein or Enderes)


Leatherman Super Tool, Mini MagLite, and a Bic Round Stic pen in a Nite Ize pouch on the belt.

Don't leave home without 'em.

Adding to the list above Teflon tape, zip ties, hose clamp(s), electrical tape, spare fuses, a multi meter and WD-40.

Also a jack that can lift your unit should you ever need to.

Eternabond tape can make permanent repairs to roofs.

I even used it to repair a cracked plastic fender after a tire failure on the road 3 years ago, and it's still holding up!

Tools include:

Anything needed for a spare tire change or hitch adjustment
Square screwdriver and several hemostats (if you don't have any you don't know what you're missing)
Then I get neurotic, I pack enough tools to tear down the top end of my trucks engine, after all it is a 6.0.
