Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

This is a question for you do it yourself types. What tools do you carry to perform minor maintenence issues that come up? Weight being an issue I would think there must be a list of Basic tools to get things done without taking my whole toolbox. Thanks to all who post. I seem to have put this in wrong catagory, have no idea how to change.

You can get pretty basic when it comes to tools. 

A couple of screw drivers (flat and phillips)
a small hammer
an ajustable wrench
a couple of common box/open wrenches
Maybe a caulking gun

You really don't need much and if you have room you can always get more.

I don't have a list to carry, but I sure know I have a lot of things I've never used. I'm trying to look at things that I can remove from my collection. One thing I have thought about is that RVER'S are some of the friendliest and helpful people around. I know many of them would be more than happy to lend a tool to someone in need and some people with plenty of storage capacity have just about everything you can imagine with them.
Maybe we should all hang out a sign by our rigs saying "'If you need help or need to borrow anything, please ask. You will make my day". I know thats the way I feel. Matter of fact, I think I just gave myself an idea to get to work on.
Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.

I agree with likenit. 

I have the capacity and brought just about anything I thought might be useful. I know I have things I'll never use, but you never know when you might need that 1" capacity electric drill, or the belt sander.

Recently had the opportunity to acquire the Ryobi 18volt 1+ system.  It came with drill (1/2 inch), flashlight, and circular saw.  I love it.  More recently I purchased a rotozip tool and a wet or dry hand vac.  All the 1+ cordless system.

Pretty compact but pretty useful set of tools.
