Cordless tools. What do you have in your camper?

[OshawaDave]

I carry dewalt 20V tools: impact driver and bits, jobsite blower, tire inflator (mostly for the airbags), a couple of flashlights, usb charger/light combo that clips on a battery for cell charging, vacuum that we use in the RV, pruning shears, and two 5 Ahr batteries and a 2Ahr battery.

DeWalt 20V 1/2" hog ring anvil impact wrench, drill, grease gun.

I left out one of the very important tools:
an Energizer LED headlamp.
Soooo much better than holding a penlight in your mouth.

Especially if you have to sneeze!!

Cordless drill for the jacks, and the occasional hole I need to make. A handheld air blower for cleaning leaves off the awning before rolling it up, leaves off the roof, and dirt off the steps. An inflator is in the tow vehicle. Miscellaneous flashlights and lanterns. A couple power packs.
I have PLB I carry when out hiking, but with cell satellite connectivity now I am not sure it is needed anymore.

The impact action loosens the stainless cover. Water enters in the space provided and corodes the metal underneath. This expands the cover preventing an appropriate socket from fitting anymore rendering the nut useless. I think this will happen without the impact as well, will just take longer

FYI, using an impact driver on your jacks is a pretty good way to annoy your neighbors in the campground and can damage the jack. A drill is better for the jack and your first impression.

I feel the same way, and when I had stabilizers, I used a Bosche 12V cordless drill. I always felt that the hammering of the impact wrench couldn't be good for the jacks. I had never considered the noise, but it is more and more common to hear it.

@Weebeenew The Milwaukee M12 are perfect for an RV. Unfortunately, everything I have is M18. Make (or buy) yourself an adaptor so you can use the batteries for troubleshooting. Our last trip out, my brother in-law was having problems with his awning. Since he carries the 12v Dewalt, we were able to use one of his batteries to test the motor directly (bypassed the switch and One Control completely. Easy way to determine the motor was bad. I have also use a 12v power tool battery to test a Schwintek slide motor.

Drill(2), Drill/driver(2), blower, impact wrench, tire inflator, 6” chain saw (low branches), work lights (2), reciprocating saw, circular saw, air compressor, chargers (4), assorted batteries (19).
Milwaukees are mine, Dewalts my wife’s.
We travel, 2- 4 months of the year, to 3-week build/repair/remodel projects for NOMADS, scattered over the continental US.

You might want to see if your saw is part of the recall

When I had manual stabilizers it was in the manual to not use impact wrenches on them. But you are correct, I hear it quite frequently in campgrounds. Most of us men never look at instructions/manuals anyway do we? Its just some other dudes opinion.....

Oh yeah! You hear them all over the campground. By the way. What are instructions? Enquiring minds want to know!!
