tools

Each year as our months long snowbird journey is ending and I start to unpack back home, I have to laugh at myself unloading my rather large toolbox, filled with tools & items I have yet to use in all the time we've been RVing. One would think that I would learn from this experience and cull out...

OK, this is a simple one! Curious as the best tools, sponges and drying cloths everyone uses to get to the top of those Class A's. I use an inexpensive mop head on an adjustable pole for washing but drying is a pain, I climb a ladder. Just curious what others use. I am referring to at home not...

I will do my best to describe what iam talking about. I have noticed more and more campers starting camp fires with these what looks like a butane hand held lighter. small version of a soldering tourch. Can anyone help?

I want to start carrying some PEX tools and supplies with me when I travel with my 2022 Precept. I just want the take the minimum in case of a possible leak happens. What do you all take with you? Thanks KT

I apologize up front because this topic SURELY has been discussed before. If so, please refer me to the threads. I have entered the world of mid-length travel trailers (32ft) and gasoline fuel stops. I like to have custom routes too. You guessed it - I need a resource that allows that to...

Greetings. My wife and I are the proud owners of a new GD Reflection fifth wheel. At 13' high, I'm going to need to pay more attention to bridge clearances. Is there an app or resource that is helpful for this purpose? Thanks, Ed H in CO.

Our camping partners are no longer able to rv with us so we've decided to sell our 2024 Swift 20T. Can anyone here advise on which online site has the most accurate RV valuation? Thanks in advance.

Perused the forum on what rivets to get as I see few internal ones are gone here and there. Owners manual doesnt seem to get into rivet sizes... also looked at as supply company but their rivet kit is sold out. Ones I see on the inside have a divot in the middle. Question is are there any...

I want to buy my husband an RV Atlas for Christmas. I want one that will route us on the best roads for pulling our Solitude, a book that includes bridge clearances, gas stations that are easy in and easy out…There are so many to choose from. I just wanted to know what some of you would recommend.

We are first time RV owners. In fitting out the RV all the accoutrements I think we will need, I am at the point of considering which tools I would have handy. Given weight restrictions, it makes we wonder about what others carry. Do I need?: Two full sets of wrenches (SAE/Metric) Two full sets...

You guys know how some car sites have like a colorizer for a car so you can have a brand and model car, but select the paint color to see what they look like with certain colors of paint? Is there such a site out there known where we can do this for a bus? I'm having a hard time deciding on a...

We have a 29RLI 2024. On a recent trip to the Smokies we found ourselves (following GPS) on a road that was not conducive to RV driving. The road actually had a sign that stated no campers that was not visible until you had already turned on that road. Anyway, we don’t want to go thru that...

Saw a thread the other day where some folks said they rely on roadside assistance if they have a flat. (can understand some have to for health reasons) Myself, not only do I carry two spare tires, I also have leaf springs, bearings, an electric brake assembly, slide cables, a slide motor and...

We are on our way home from Sacramento to Calgary, Alberta. It is mid November and finding a a route home through the mountains during earlier winter is a challenge. We were introduced to a program called RV Weather and it has proven to be an invaluable tool for trip planning. Using the...

I’m curious to what everyone’s procedure is for changing out a spring? I have an extra spring, u bolts, shackles and wet bolts in case of an emergency that I plan on carrying. I have a 6 ton and 3 ton bottle jack also. I have replaced an axle and all 4 springs on my dual axle boat trailer so I...

I bet ,in RV most of us already use space-saving stuffs like collapsible kitchen essentials, folding chairs and a table and more ....those silicone bowls and strainers are great! But there are also some cheap electrical or mechanical tools, like a multimeter, that are super handy when you’re out...

Afternoon all, I'm just curious about what you all keep in your home from home. Or full time. Since I do limited floor work now at work. Mostly a keyboard jocky keeping the production lines running good. I brought home my milwaukee 12 volt fuel tools that were collecting dust. Which was nice...

Did they do away with the banner on the page that accuses the Democrats of being responsible for the shutdown? I don't normally pay much attention to politics, but that just pissed me off when I saw it on the Forest Service website. As far as I'm concerned all of the politicians of both...

Well, it was bound to happen, and yesterday, it did. I was on a long stretch of highway in the middle of nowhere central Utah, and the dashboard readout pops on showing my tire pressures. Five are right where they should be, but my inside driver-side dually is at 50...49...48...47... and going...
