Just curious as to what spare engine parts people carry?
So far I have:


DEF simulator
DEF filter Differential pressure sensor
Oil and fuel filters
Engine oil
Engine coolant
Serpentine belt
Fuses
(Thinking of getting a belt tensioner)



Don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere in need of a part that I could change myself.
Thanks!!
 
Not that I have a similar setup and perhaps a little off topic, with my Duramax and previous 5th wheel I purchased bad fuel once and since that time I always carried a 2-stroke mixing container and would pump about a pint of fuel into it prior to fueling and inspect it for trash, if all was good then I would add an appropriate amount of power service fuel additive and pour it all into the tank.

The reason for my comment was based on your desire to bring an extra fuel filter which is a good idea, when I had purchased bad fuel I went through about 4~5 fuel filters in a very short amount of time so I changed from being reactive to being proactive in regards to the fuel. ~CA
 
I carry for my 6.7 ISB and QD8000 generator…..

Oil, Fuel and water separator filters with the proper wrenches to change and often overlooked I carry 2 qts of fresh diesel fuel to prefill the filters.
Generator fuel, oil, air filter and fuel pump.
Oil for engine and generator
Transyn 668 transmission fluid
Serpentine Belt
Water Pump
Belt Tensioner
Engine Coolant
DEF Simulator (2)
Fuses and Tools to do any of the above tasks.

I’d bring whatever typically breaks when you’re towing long distances. I get my truck thoroughly checked out before any major long haul trip. I carry oil, filters, belts, fuses, tire patch kit, and a descent tool kit.
 
I carry an extra slide-out motor because chances are 50% it won’t work when it’s time to leave your site. Just for the fun of it try finding one that needs to be in your possession and installed like NOW. You’ll be shocked at how long it takes to get on the road again
 
What is the correct part number for the bedroom slide on a 2021 Seneca Prestige 39K? I have seen several different models on Amazon, if that is the best place to order one from.
Thanks!
 
I purchased my motor directly from Lippert and yes there are a # of them depending on the day or week they were installed. Mine is a through the frame slide and there are different offsets depending on the model, it took 2 exchange orders to get the right one for mine. It took 2 weeks to get the right one in my hands and installed.
 
Forgot to mention, 21 Seneca 37K Prestige. Cummins ISB 6.7L
Since you have a prestige you have an aqua hot, I would carry a gallon of propolyene glycol premixed for the boilure. It can be difficult to locate in some areas. Maybe a spare fuel filter for it as well. if you do your own service a burner nozzle as well.
