In this video, we will look at the tools that I carry with me when I travel on longer trips with my RV. These tools range from tools designed for everyday use to tools that are more specific to RV's needs. As we discuss these tools, it can assist those who are new to RVing with what tools they may want to travel with.

Thanks John. I also carry an assortment of zip ties (both plastic and metal) and a small wire cutter.

Thank you, I'll be watching this whole series and taking note of the tools before I put mine in storage. Looking at a 260DS for the family and to make sure I'm prepared for a few years on the road.

Thank you for your camping insight. I had to pause on the video of essential tools for beginners. The air compressor you use, is oil lubricated, and when you blow out your water lines with an oil lubricated compressor, you can get oil residue in your water lines. A water pressure regulator for the hydrant at your campsite is a good idea. You just never know the pressure and excess pressure might cause a leak in your rig. Love your channel and recommend to past and present campers

A person could go with a cordless tool line and get a drill, vac, compressor, etc... that all take the same battery. Of course those wouldn't be as powerful as corded tools but it could probably meet a lot of people's needs.

@JohnMarucci 3 жыл бұрын

Great point. There are a bunch of choices for tools for sure. Thanks!

@randomspirit Жыл бұрын

So I still need the plumbing tool and the air compressor. Everything else (and a whole bunch more) I have in my craft room. LOL Great list! Thanks!

I am poring over this video, thank you. Am set to go out for the first time at the end of this week, and just started looking over my tools, wondering which to bring. BTW - how/where do you store these ( the RPOD 179 has a small outdoor storage space)

@JohnMarucci 3 жыл бұрын

John, I have two tool boxes for most of the tools. They generally stay in the bed of my truck along with the ladder and compressor. Sometimes I do keep one of the toolboxes in the 179 storage area. Hope this helps!

John great video on tools! My question do you have a packing /storage video. How do you pack all this stuff? Do you use tubs? Just wondering and looking for ideas for better storage efficiency. Thanks Bruce

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

I do not have a specific packing/storage video, but may consider doing one. It's seems to always be a pain and takes a lot of time. Thanks, Bruce.

Hi John, great videos! What type of wrenches do you carry for the Tundra and RPod? The Tundra would be metric, but what type does the RPod need (Standard or Metric)? I ordered an RPod 202 that I’m receiving in April. Regards

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

Scott, I actually carry both standard and metric in combination wrenches and sockets. Thanks!

you need an electronic temp gauge! to check wheel hubs, hot water heater etc. Never leave home without it

Thanks, good idea. I do have one but forgot to put it in the video!

@jameskresta9594 Жыл бұрын

Not to be rude, but I heard you mention you have your torque wrench set all the time. Now if you meant just have the socket on it cool, however if you are leaving it set on the torque setting and its a click type you can actually streach out the spring and it will loose it calibration. Just a heads up. Also thanks for this great video you mentioned several things i still need to buy for our new motor home. Keep theese coming us newbies need help from you veterans.

@JohnMarucci Жыл бұрын

Good reminder James to loosen the torque wrench when not using it. I admit to having a cheap torque wrench and need to upgrade shortly. All the best!

Can't find this anywhere else, but I need to know where the studs are on my R Pod 2016 180 to attach a crank out awning. Can you help?

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

Marcia, I have a metal stud finder I use to find the metal studs in my R-Pod. I don't know of a published frame layout to reference for the R-Pods, however, you may want to ask on the owners forum (not FB) to see if anyone else knows: rpod-owners.com

I have one question for you John, does the 120 volt power (plates ) work off of the battery? If not do I need a separate inverter to power the plates or a new plate? I have same year and model your have.

@JohnMarucci 3 жыл бұрын

Dave, the wall outlets only work with shore power and not off the battery. You would have to install an aftermarket inverter and change a wall outlet or two to make it work with off the battery. Thanks!

Great supply of tools but I was surprised that a jack wasn't included in the list.

I haven’t brought one with me to date and haven’t needed one. I do have a good bottle jack that I used when do maintenance on the trailer at home. I do have a good jack as part of my truck set up.

@leehart9055 Жыл бұрын

Good morning from the Great State of Texas. Should all RV'ers carry all these tools? Where in the RV do you store all these tools?

@JohnMarucci Жыл бұрын

I carry most in the bed of my truck. I do have a 12V air compressor that is much smaller than the one in the video. Otherwise most of the tools I do bring with me on longer trips.
