Interesting. Have you needed/used this often?

[Don & Pat]

Pictured is under rear seat on drivers side. On the passenger side is a air bottle jack, tie down straps, air hose.

Two tool bags with power screw drivers, drill bit sets, tool bit sets, and large open end wrenches -- metric and regular.

Never have enough.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. There is damn little I won't fix on the side of the road

[R2millers]

Besides my post above, here's my small cabinet of goodies that I have available for trailer fixes too. Can't have too much stuff.

[chunker]

I have just a basic tool box with the normal 3/8" and 1/4" sockets and supporting combination wrenches. As mentioned a multimeter and test light. I'd suggest a suitable bottle jack but make sure any jack is short enough to get under the frame if the tire/s are flat. A good 1/2" impact socket for the lug nuts and a big/long breaker bar.

I carry enough tools to make adjustments and basic repairs, not rebuild the thing on the road. That's where road side assistance and a good credit card come in handy.

Oh and a suitable amount of beer in the fridge. NOTE when using the beer to solicit help, only use after the job is done especially when using sharp things. Around here when the beer light goes on, all sharp things get put away.

I carry enough tools to rebuild my rig on the road if needed. I like being self reliant even though I can afford any repair expense. It's was my DIYS nature in a house and I'm not going to change ways just because I live on the road.

Tool List

I do all/most of my own maintenance and service on my 5th wheeler. While working on the rig at home I try perform these functions out my on-board toolbox, if I’m short something it will probably get added. I’m one of those guys that never met a tool I didn’t like, so my shop is well stocked. So I carry what I think I’d need on the road for most things.

1. Multi bit screw driver with a wide assortment of special bits
2. Basic dedicated screwdrivers, square drive, Phillips, straight, etc.
3. Most of a Lowes pliers set, left a few things behind
4. 6, 8 & 10 in. adjustable wrenches
5. 8” vise grip pliers
6. Both 3/8” SAE and metric socket sets, my rig needs both
7. Both 3/8” SAE and metric combination wrenches
8. A combination set of ¼” SAE and metric sockets
9. Medium ball pin hammer
10. Wire strippers and crimpers
11. Allen head wrench sets
12. Tape measure
13. PEX hose cutter and crimper for steel PEX bands
14. Caulk gun
15. Grease guns, small and standard
16. 14” pry bar, use to do the last inch of lift when changing tires, makes life easy (never had a flat)
17. Digital multimeter
18. Infrared thermometer
19. Digital tire gauge and an analog tire gauge
20. Torque wrenches, I check my wheel lugs every morning along with tire pressures
21. Four-way tire tool
22. Long ½” breaker bar with another 30” pipe cheater
23. 12 ton jack
24. Cordless drill with charger & matching work light
25. Odd assortment of items used to change a wheel bearing
26. Utility knife & razor scraper
27. LED flashlight in toolbox and in each compartment
28. Split ring pliers, inside & outside
29. I use a CO2 system to inflate tires instead of a compressor, I frequently do not have 110v power for a larger compressor
30. Air blow gun and a extension blow gun (up to 22”) tire inflator
31. Hand held Propane detector
32. Hacksaw & spare blades
33. Small wood saw
34. And what ever I can’t recall

As for supplies and parts:
1. Full set of fuses
2. Spare bulbs
3. Electrical, duct, thernabond & teflon tape
4. Zip ties
5. Crimp ends for wires, custom selected for wires on-board
6. Spare length of 12Ga. Wire
7. Cable ties
8. Spare wheel bearings, seals, etc.
9. Bearing grease
10. Grease gun and extra grease for wet bolts
11. Propane pipe joint compound (the yellow stuff)
12. Disposable gloves
13. Rags
14. Silicone spray
15. WD40 (this is not a lube)
16. Spare PEX fittings and PEX clamps & short length(s) of PEX pipe
17. Assortment of screws
18. Roof repair materials
19. Caulk
20. Superglue
21. Butyl tape
22. C-clips for compartment door latches
23. Dicor self leveling sealant
24. Washers for water hose, spare wire mesh filter for the city water connection
25. Manuals for everything I’ve found manuals for
26. Hand cleaner
27. Roll of paper towels
28. All other things I can’t think of sitting here

I carry this stuff in four places, a regular plastic toolbox for the most used things, another box for the cordless stuff, another plastic box for rarely used tools and a large plastic tub for the spare parts. Small parts live in an assortment of plastic part boxes from Home Depot. I have avoided buying those assortment kits of parts. I select only the sizes and types that are actually used in my rig and in quantities that might be needed. With exception of wheel bearings and jacks I’ve used most of the stuff at some point or another.

[Stever53]

I carry a lot of what others have posted. But there’s always going to be that one thing you didn’t throw in, that your going to need
Safe travels

[Winemaker2]

+1 for multimeter...
I also like to have a length of wire w aligator clips on ends... helps with continuity checks and tracing circuits

Make sure you have socket the size of trailer lug nuts including the spare, I carry complete wrench and socket set.

Pretty much the same as the above folks have plus some of the things rarebear takes. I added a collapsible 7' ladder https://www.amazon.com/GP-Logistics-.../dp/B009IJUL4O I have another smaller step ladder (3') I carry as well.

In PA and most other states, anything towing a trailer requires three emergency warning devices on board like reflective triangles.

That multi-meter may seem like a small thing, but I have had to use that more than once when my fridge and a particular outlet quit working to trace the issue which turned out to be a fuse and saved me a bunch of $$.

[Waiter21]

all the normal handtools plus Wrenches, sockets, torque-wrenches, jacks, spare parts, a small 3 gallon air compressor.

On the last trip I added a small wire welder to the tool box. ( I had to buy it to weld nuts to broken exhaust studs on the grandsons truck that we were working on)

Flashlight, a better spare flashlight. Batteries, spare batteries.
