A credit card. No matter how many tools you have the next one you need will be the one you don't have.

I am good already on what I need and have, just on the fence about the tools listed.

The hardest part of getting ready to go full time was downsizing my tools. I got rid of many, many, many tools and thought I was bringing the bare minimum however, I recently had each wheel weighed on my truck and trailer and while I was under on each wheel individually, I learned that I was over but just over 1k lbs. on my GCWR. Tools are the heaviest thing you'll bring. So, four months on the road I've kind of been sitting tools to the side that I haven't used in four months. I will be getting rid of them if I don't use them before we leave Texas in the spring time.
Let me just say that the tool list that I left San Diego with was smaller than what you have listed in your original first post. For instance, fiberglass ladder is far to heavy and an aluminum ladder is all you need for RV work. Ball peen hammer.....never even brought one, etc. One of the things for me.....I had to keep reminding myself that with a newer truck, I'm probably not going to be doing much automotive repairs and so I will not need a lot of automotive type tools. Basic socket set, variety of pliers, side cutters, etc., variety of screw drivers, my DeWalt cordless, clamp meter w/leads, continuity tester, etc.SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually. Not pulling the 5er, catch me on my 2013 CVO Harley Ultra Classic.

Thanks for chiming in. Been selling and giving away so much already. The list is where I am now and wondered how much more to let go.
How about a jig saw? I am guessing probably not, but, I don't have any power saws left......
Thanks.Jim and Belinda H. Pa.
