Soon-to-be RV Full Timers Seeking Must-Have Tools List Advice
My wife and I have camped for 40 years (tenting and pop-ups). Ordered a 2021 Solitude 310GK and will take delivery early Spring. Expect to be on the road for full-time RVing by Labor Day 2021. Planning now for what essentials are needed for our new lifestyle. Have seen a lot of videos about the obvious like surge protector, water pressure regulator, air compressor, etc. but what do you need in your "traveling tool box" since there are no longer the home workshop or garage to run to? Thank you all in advance.

Welcome to the forum. I feel like there was a topic like this not too long ago, try using the search function and see what you come up with. If not here is a good start.
Multimeter
Electric tape
Duct tape
Gorilla glue w clamps
Drill with various bits
#2 Robertson bit (most common in RV)
Basic handtools (screwdrivers, hammer, pliers, wire cutters,etc)
PEX crimp tool with fittings and extra PEX
Torque wrench (in truck)
1/2" impact w/ impact sockets (in truck)
Socket set (in truck)
Grease gun(in truck)
Teflon tape
Tire plug kit
Pyrometer
Powerbuilt jack/jackstand combo
Multi-tool
Zip ties
I think those are the major things off the top of my head. I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting.

As a precaution, Dicor is not good on all roofs. You need to know your roof type and if Dicor can be used with it.

The answer to this also largely depends on what type of camping you intend to do. If you're mostly boondocking far from civilization that needs different tools than glamping in town with full hookups.
