[Dana F]

Good day everyone. I just purchased my first Class A, a 2017 entegra anthem 44b. Im curious what spare parts other than fuses everyone carries with them. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I Have a 2011 Berkshire with Cummins ISB 360-390B,
I carry both Fuel filters and rotate them when I have the oil and filter changed.
I also carry a new serpentine belt.
A good Tow in/road side service Company. I recommend Coach Net.

It's hard to say what you'll need. If I have a recurring issue, I buy a spare part. As an example, I'm on my third step motor in 6 years, so I carry a spare.

You'll probably never need some of this stuff, but when/if you do you'll wish you had it.

- fuel filters
- engine belts
- most people tow a toad, so I carry a spare umbilical for the toad wiring
- extra wire in various sizes
- soldering gun
- electrical tape
- Gorilla tape
- refer water filter
- whole house water filter
- jar of common nuts, bolts and screws
- car wash equipment if your inclined. I carry a small electric pressure washer
- A frame ladder
- extension ladder if you have no coach rear ladder
- interior and exterior cleaning products
- extra length of sewer hose
- water hose over and above cord reel
- a couple of extra LED ceiling lights

The above is just some of the stuff I carry. However, if you're not a DIY type, than you can eliminate anything for repairing a broken item like a soldering gun.

There will be plenty of others chiming in with what they carrry.

Whatever spare parts you have, it won't be the one you need (Murphy's Law corollary)


Diesel fuel filters aren't really spare parts - they are a consumable.
Duck tape, electrical tape and basic hand tools, e.g. screwdrivers (don't forget a Roberts square drive type), an adjustable wrench, pliers, and a cheap VOM (electrical meter). More such if you have some handyman skills. Don't bother with stuff you don't know how to use.

The spare parts you need depend on your level of confidence performing repairs. I do all my own repairs just some of the more common things I have changed on the road are water heater check valves, led light fixtures, water pump, stair motor, hydraulic leveling motor im sure there is more but I carry allot of parts and tools. If you dont have the tools or knowledge to do the repair nevadanick has the best advice. If you dont have a roadside assistance I always like to research my route and find on the road truck repair facilities while im planning my route. I've never needed one yet but I firmly believe that's because I've compiled a list of them along my route.

Most chassis parts are available at the nearby truck repair center. I only take what I could replace in a pinch, like belt and fuel filters. For the house, I carry things that could stop a trip dead and aren’t typically available at the local big box stores. Examples:
- house water pump - needed it once.
- solenoids / valve for your hydraulic system - needed it once.
- Aquahot/ Oasis spares.
- slide spares, especially if you have any Schwintek slides.
Even if replacing these parts is beyond your ability to do yourself, not having to wait for a mobile mechanic to order them can be a trip saver.

Used to not really carry specific spares until we needed a part for the leveling system (reversing solenoid) and it was going to be 2-weeks to get it from Lippert. Found a functionally equivalent one on Amazon (for 1/4 the price) and was up and running in 2-days.

We also carry a credit card and some cash.

Tubes of Dicor & a caulk gun.

I carry a full set of tools and a quality volt ohm amp meter, a set of fuel filters, spare water pump and assorter cabinet latches plus capacitors for 1 a/c unit as all three are the same.

Anythine else I may need, I figure I'll just buy while on the road. When I get around to changing my belt, I'll keep the old one for a spare.

[Goettsch]

I carry airbags,filters,leveling valve,aquahot burner control,flame sensor,igniter,fuel nozzle,filter,circuit board and test box. Serpentine belt,tensioner, house thermostat, bulbs, switches, propane detector,optical tachometer,volt ohm amp meter, various lubes,engine coolant,engine and hydraulic oil,air compressor, thermal thermometer, tool cabinet,many plumbing fittings, tol list a few and I still will need something I do not have.
