    Metric? Standard? Or some of each?

    I'm putting together a toolbox for the trailer and it's not here for me to go look. Are Grand Design trailers metric or std?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is true. But with my propensity for tools, I could load 1000lbs in there without blinking. 35 years in the automotive industry and I've accumulated a socket or two, lol. I've been riding a desk for 7 years and the tool truck drivers still keep my pockets picked clean.

    Robertson #2 screwdriver is the most common screw head on an RV. As far as sockets, I carry both in my truck tool box.

    I have 2 tool kits that are in a really nice case one my dad no longer needed by Stanley and one my daughters bought me fo Fathers Day for my boat. We sold the boat so one tool kit came to the RV both have standard and metric and squared headed drivers. I have a complete Snapon set of tools in my garage but the kits are way better for an RV or a boat.

    Alright. Both it is. I still have the toolbox I took out of my last unit several years ago basically untouched. It has all the little bits of junk I tend to accumulate in it too, random Pex clamps, screws, propane fittings etc so I don't even have to start over, lol. The problem is I'm 8 years older and that box is 8 years heavier!

    We carry both, with a GM truck they use both metric and SAE and sometimes it seems like something in between. Don't think I've found any metric on the trailer yet, but haven't had to do much wrenching on it yet.


    Edit: Just needed metric working on our recliners in the RV!
