I'll have to dig out a few pictures of my late father in laws collection of sharks teeth. He made necklaces of them and make like picture frames and mounted them on it. Some were huge. You'll see if I can find the pictures. He collected all of his at Myrtle Beach area.

[@netbypass]

John, I added a compressor & quick shot air tank under the truck above the spare tire and i'm able to use my air tools. With my fifth wheel I'm constantly needing my nail guns. By the way I just ordered my TT connections membership through Jim & Brandy. www.airliftcompany.com/products/compressor-systems/quickshot/

[@nicks1488]

A tool man after my own heart. This is the man you pray you get as a neighbor.

[@RVOddCouple]

lol . You know, I didn't realize my hubby was a tool-a-holic until I read the comments of other men sayin, "I'm going to have my wife watch this so she sees I'm not bringing too many tools." It was then I realized he had a problem with tools. :-) Seriously though, thank you! That's a compliment coming from another man. -Mercedes

[@m.c.4574]

I too am a tool acholic. There I said it, I took the first step!!! Been in construction most of my life, also was a tool distributor for Cornwell tools for about 6 years. So, I have a boat load of tools. After changing a flat (with conventional tools) on the rear of me dully with the 5th wheel connected, on the shoulder of I-10 in Texas. Speed limit 80 MPH, with trucks zooming by 3 ft away from me and my truck. I invested in a Viair on board air compressor (controlled by my truck up fitter switches) and connected to a 7 gal. air tank. I now use a 12-ton air jack and an Ingersoll Rand ½ drive impact wrench. Now if I have to change a flat tire, it will be safe, quick and easy. It has enough air that I can run my pneumatic tools to work on my truck and RV. I even serviced the transmission and rear differential using the air supply from my truck. Removing old gasket with a pneumatic die grinder is a must! I ran air lines to both sides of the truck with quick connect couplings. I use the air all the time, I also added an air horn.

[@RVOddCouple]

Congratulations, they say the first step is the highest! :-). You and John could talk all about your air tools. He misses is pneumatic tools. And he tells me that since he can't take those he needs another drill to repair paneling "the right way." I'm sure you will agree with him because men have to stick together. But he mentioned the onboard Viair to me too. Men and their tools! That said, I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone that can create or fix things with tools. It's not given enough recognition.

[@gregmoore3420]

6:28 Surge protectors: One recommendation: Before backing/leveling into your camping spot, have someone walk over and plug the surge protector into the power first. This will confirm a good outlet and will save the headache of having to have to move again.

[@RVOddCouple]

Great advice! Especially for those tricky spots to back into. We've had that happen to us. Newbie RV'ers will benefit from this!

[@Charisma2]

Excellent tip, Greg!

[@InuaKennels]

You know that I have never done that but it is an excellent idea!!!

[@jrcook927]

Of all the RVing/ van life channels I follow, you're the only one who mentions having firearms with you (or the only one brave enough to say anything). I applaud that! I'd never enter the woods without one. There are just too many crazies out there, and RV doors aren't strong enough to protect what's dearest to you.

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you JR! Protecting my family is my #1 concern on the road.

[@gregmoore3420]

For Class "B" or smaller motorhome's that are used as the daily driver: A sign left at the empty campsite that says "We are coming Back, thank you." Not only is it good communication, but it also avoids awkward situations for a spot you already paid for.

[@RVOddCouple]

This is excellent advice. Some people leave hoses but a sign is a far better idea. Sometimes it looks like someone just left the hose by accident. It's hard to tell. With a sign, there is no mistake that the campsite is occupied.

[@Chimp_6]

"What did we miss?" - A shovel ( I use the folding camp style to save space) and a screw on water pressure regulator for campground hookups. Suggestion - Make up a short list for folks (like us) that have smaller rigs with WAY less storage than you have in that beautiful Fiver! You are really providing a special service, especially to newbies, with your videos. Keep it up! Andy & Kim

[@RVOddCouple]

Hi Andy & Kim! A Shovel! yes!!! I think we have the water pressure regulator but he puts his by the water filter. I'm probably not saying it right. Funny, we have a massive list. We decided to only include a few items in the description because it was 100+ items. I'll ask him to narrow it down. He's a tool guy. That should be interesting to watch.

[@Jho_Sephine]

I'd love to see how all these tools are stored/ organized in your rig.

I carried all that stuff around for 5 years and said this is crazy. After 7 more years I'm down to a small toolbox of hand tools and there's always a Walmart around if I need something. Good video for an addict :)

It's a process Sundance. I'm only 5 months in. lol! :-)

@@RVOddCouple I already know I'm going to be the same way with kitchen stuff.

[@donnamontoya6877]

This video was so cute and very informative. I have to say though as a Real Estate flipper, who started out doing all the work myself. I have every power tool there is. When the time comes to move into an RV and hit the road. I will cry downsizing them. A girl can do anything with her power tools.

[@RVOddCouple]

LOL Donna! Yes They Can!!!💚

[@markownbey5084]

Great info. We have full time RV for 18 years and we wish we had all the great toys you have. We carry about half of what you have as we are in a 31 Ft. Motorhome Class C. One tool I did not notice was a Volt Reader Meter. We keep ours in the front seat to check that camp sites have the proper power available.. It's small so easy to keep handy and has saved us a few times from sites that were not working. Cheryl and Mark

[@RVOddCouple]

You are correct, I didn't show my voltmeter but I have 2. 1 my electrical and cable box and one in my truck door to check sites as well. Learned this the hard way 🤔 Thank you Mark 👍😀

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

....and in the next video we see John telling the Doc how he had to downsize to one shirt...and the reason he chose the blue Obliss. Great video! John, great tool selection...you have enough to make a camp host blush! One thing I plan on adding to my rig is a telescoping ladder. Also, what kind of leveling blocks do you use? I don't remember if you covered that in a previous video or not. All I can remember is blue shirt. LOL!

[@RVlivingcoast2coast]

We keep a box with all the battery sizes any of our devices need, and an electrical box with extras of every fuse type our rig uses, electrical tape, soldering iron/solder, solder wick, wire nuts, extra led bulbs, spool of electircal wire, and wire cutter/stripper, plus a mix box of various wire connector types/ends, and a voltage multi-meter.

[@RVOddCouple]

You listed excellent items! Luckily, we have everything you listed except for the additional fuses. Where did you get your fuses? Thank you!

[@RVlivingcoast2coast]

​@@RVOddCouple We got an automotive assortment pack that had most of them, then added in the odd ones. We got them from Fry's Electronics, my favorite store ever! Unfortunately they are only in certain parts of the country, but I stock up when we are near one. I could order online, but then I'd miss out exploring the store. In California where they started, the original stores are themed, like one is an Egyptian Pyramid, and one has a huge Tesla Coil in the middle of the store that shoots out electrical bolts at the top of the hour.... They all have cafeteria's, so you can spend a long time shopping :)

[@RVOddCouple]

Ok That's good to know. Thank you! We're going to look them up!

[@koroba01]

It may be included in the yet-to-be-named misc. tools but having a good voltmeter/multi-tester would be important for troubleshooting various electrical issues. Excellent video!

[@paulamoore2758]

Yes, a multimeter is a very useful (and lightweight) addition.

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank's Steven. I'll ask him but I think he has one already. He has so much stuff- how can he not. But it's a great idea to include it in the list for someone that may not be into tools, so they don't forget! Thank you!!

[@rickrivera8222]

Here is an idea to remove tree sap from your truck/car...ICE! As kids we did all kinds of thing to each other including sticking bubble gum on each other's hair. Like bubble gum, tree sap will cristalize when freezed. If you dont have anything else, ice will work just fine!

[@RVOddCouple]

Cool! Thank you Rick!

[@ourbendyroad2684]

We're not on the road yet, but having worked in construction for over 30 years, I can relate to wanting to take all the tools you can. I am sure John will agree there is nothing more frustrating than being on a job and not have the right tool or part to get the job done. I know that I won't be able to bring my bigger compressor(s), but I will be bringing at least my 1 gallon compressor, a 23ga pin nailer, and maybe my stapler and 16ga brad nailer. Thank you for sharing what tools decided to take with you.

[@RVOddCouple]

You are welcome! Thank you for sharing what you have to have😀

Hi, Tony and Debbie here. Just found you. We just got back to our sticks and bricks after our first 6mth trip. Great videos. Glad someone is not to afraid to mention God. We are going out again in a mth or so. Should be out till Christmas. We mostly boondock and have a different life style. But I agree about tools. One I'm happy I got was a good 20v Dewalt impact gun. It came in handy as I had two flats one on the camper and one on the truck. All so got a fan to use the battery for helping to keep my wife cool at night. Got the blower ant the chain saw on the wish list.

[@jamesstewart3121]

Take a look at kid he has a video on his air system where he added a tank and mounted his visor that way you probably could have your air tools

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you James. I'm going to tell him to look for this. He really misses his "air tools" (I'm probably not saying this right.) lol!

[@bertwright1790]

Some really good ideas, some that exceed my available space, but a guy can dream. What I didn’t see that I carry, a voltage meter, a test light, spare fuses and in line fuse holders, a plug in the tests for power and proper grounding.

[@RVOddCouple]

You are correct Bert. I was missing all of the items you listed😀

[@dzymslizzy3641]

Many years ago, I had a screen name of "Tool Gal." I grew up grease-monkeying to my dad. I will definitely struggle when it comes time to decide what tools can't come along. The blow will be softened some by knowing that most of the ones I can't take will be going to my grandsons, who will make excellent use of them. I have many duplicates, and a lot of culling to do. But of all the tools I have, both mechanical and woodworking, the one tool I do not own, that I must buy for the road, is a torque wrench! Loved your 'therapy' session--too funny! Maybe if we ever cross paths, we can indulge in an exchange of improv comedy! ;-)

[@RVOddCouple]

Well not that I'm biased but that therapist was just so awesome! lol. But yes, you and John can talk about tools... And I can listen, not knowing what you two are talking about! :-) But you're right. When you know that the things you get rid of are going to a loved one, it's easier to let go of it.

[@jimkerr7]

Good video! I've been making a list of RV Essentials (my opinion) and thought your video was excellent. Above all, Surge Protector with EMS (usually $300-$400) and a water pressure regulator should be some of the first things you buy. I'm glad you covered those first! I can't stress enough how important those 2 pieces are. I always wonder why all RV's don't automatically come with EMS/Surge protection and a water pressure regulator out of the build plants. Also, I do RV detailing and was impressed to see you had ONR. That's the best stuff and I use it on my own personal vehicles. After your wash and rinse try spraying on a product called "Beadmaker" and then try it with Microfiber drying cloths that are meant to be used specifically for drying. You're RV will shine and feel SO smooth not to mention bead off water quickly. I get my stuff from Matt at Obsessed Garage here in Florida.

[@RVOddCouple]

Excellent Advice! Thank you so much for that information! We will check that out. We appreciate your pro-RV & Truck washing tips! We don't want the tar to stick on. And we agree. RV's should have Surge protectors and Water Pressure Regulators that come standard. They are very important! Thank you again Jim!

[@highdesertrob8076]

My goal in life is to get two or three good belly laughs every day. I got my first one with your therapy session LOL. Great video. Thanks for the laugh. Rob

I never realized the connection that men have to their tools until we started creating this video. My husband loves his tools! He can tell me when he got each tool and what job he used it for. Quite remarkable!

[@jeffreyeunae176]

John, I'm happy to see you're using a brass elbow on your water filter connection to reduce the amount of stress the line can put on that city water connector. If you don't mind my making an observation, it's good that you have your water filter on the trailer end of the hose. On our maiden outing with our first trailer, I attached my filter to the hose bib and someone suggested to me that the filter should be the last thing your water travels through before entering the trailer. Point well taken, but I noticed in this video that your pressure regulator is also on the trailer end of the hose. It was pointed out to me that surges in the park pressure will blow a hose, especially one that's laying in the sun and having the pressure regulator on the end of the hose that's connected to the bib offers protection for your hose, too. I hope someone reads this and benefits from it. Jeffrey & Eun Ae

[@RVOddCouple]

Great suggestion! Thank you for sharing with us :)

[@Jason-Richards]

Have you considered putting a compressor/tank, aka OBA (on-board air) on your truck? I have a dual compressor on my Jeep so I can air down the tires when we go off-road, but it will be used for air tools and maintaining RV tire pressures when we hit the road in our motorhome. And as a bonus, you can then add a train horn to your truck. I have one on my Jeep and it’s awesome!! 😊

[@RVOddCouple]

Decided against it.

[@js19861234]

1/2 drive Dewalt 20volt impact is essential when we camp. I’ve had two blowouts and it made the tire change much faster.

[@RVOddCouple]

Great thing to carry! I had to make tough choices. This is one I had to leave behind.

We have the necessary water regulator, surge protector and battery jumper/air compressor combo. But for repairs, we just have a small hand tool set that our dealer threw in. It's one of those Harbor Freight type 100 piece sets. And I use it a lot.

[@rickvance9460]

Hi guys!! Great video. Wow, lots of prep work for this video. Great tips.

[@RVOddCouple]

3 days on this video Rick! Brutal!!! But I think we are getting better? Thank you as always and Thank you for ordering a sharks tooth Necklace 💚💚💚😀👍

[@richardkoch8752]

John, I always figure when I have three of the same type of tool I have "just enough" LOL!!! In my younger days when our three boys were getting older I could never keep a full set of tool of any type. Now that they are grown and out of the house I am in tool heaven!!! Such a joy.....guess maybe now I'm over compensating for the bad days of yore LOL!!!!.

[@cindyrose5414]

My husband also suffers from this unique tool hording syndrome. I have to share this video with him! Thank you.

[@RVOddCouple]

lol! The first step is admitting he has a problem! And as his wife you should be his therapist too! 🤔😂😆

[@kpeasleyparker]

Great video. Wrecking bar always need two in case the first one gets stuck. Bungee cords, yes and lots of them! Loved the video. I can understand, the front storage of our camper was the tool area except for a tote of my office stuff that wouldn’t fit anywhere else.

[@RVOddCouple]

Ohhhhh.... so he wasn't making it up! lol Still doesn't explain why he keeps one under the bed! 😂😆😂

[@kpeasleyparker]

That isn’t a tool, it is a weapon at that point. Unless it is under the bed in the storage area.

[@truthmefree]

Hahaha. I actually laughed out loud with the beginning skit! Thanks for all the wonderful videos folks. Its help me A LOT!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you

[@lairdmott6746]

You mentioned on the tools video something about wanting to run your nail gun. I use a CO2 bottle for my nail gun. Got it at sporting goods store where they have paint ball supplies. When it's empty I exchange it for a full charge.

[@RVOddCouple]

Great idea! Thank you👍😀

[@kiphigdon3247]

great stuff to know also we are looking into the forest river r.v.'s you suggested thanks keep up the great video's

[@RVOddCouple]

We love ours! I think it's best value! Good Choice Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇲 Thank you💚

[@meepmopmoop1839]

I know what you mean. My husband was given all of his dad's AND uncle's tools. He has triplicate of everything, but doesn't want to get rid of anything. He doesn't use 99% of it. He usually grabs whatever is in my small "house tool kit". We have to lug the tools around everytime we move to a new home.🤦🏼‍♀️

[@RVOddCouple]

We all have our hang-ups 😂😀 Thank you

[@scottellsworth8635]

Love your sense of humor at the opening of the video!!!!! lol

[@KJRitch]

I carry a portable battery jump starter, a NOCO GB150. I have Ram Cummins and it will jump that engine. I also use it as a battery source for powering a water pump to pump in water to my fresh tank when dry camping.

[@RVOddCouple]

What a great idea! Thank you KJ 👍😀

[@ericdee6802]

***FIRE EXTINGUISHERS*** a couple of dry chem and always a 2.5gal water for class "A" materials.

[@RVOddCouple]

We have two and I should have covered them. Thank you Eric👍😃

[@johnturner7322]

First great intro! I may have missed it but a multi-meter. I had an A/C issue on one of my TT's once and I used it to find the issue and make the repair. The A/C was a must on that trip.

[@RVOddCouple]

Yes, that therapist was so amazing, not that I'm biased! lol. But seriously, I had no idea that my husband had so much tools! Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun filming it!

[@JeremyPrattigmp2u]

Loved the therapy session and that the outside kitchen is now tool storage :)

[@RVOddCouple]

I think that the therapist was so bright. But I'm biased. lol And yes, I don't cook-cook outside so when John wanted to convert the outdoor kitchen to a "man shed" I thought that was a great idea. We have a grill but we don't really need that area so I'm glad he is using it!

[@pagewhite8177]

That was hilarious! Not the tool part, the therapy bit. The tool part was really interesting, thank you.

[@RVOddCouple]

We had so much fun filming that. We kept bursting out in laughter.

[@yvanlajeunesse7676]

You guys are getting good at this fun to watch :)

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you very much! We really appreciate the motivation 👍😀

[@joycehernandez9154]

You two are delightful nuts 💜 thanks for the details and the laughs!

[@RVOddCouple]

💚🤣😂

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

Wow .... OMG ..... That is a lot of stuff !!! ..... The last questions ....... a garden shovel and a garden shovel ... !!!

[@RVOddCouple]

We have one but it's in NC. John refuses to buy another one because he wants to use the one in NC because it's a gift from his son.

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

@@RVOddCouple ..... Mine was also a gift from my Mother -in-law ... and I am trying to remember --- thinking it was in the mid 70's ...... all of these years it is the only one that I use ..... I do a lot of digging up old trees and bushes and planting new ones around my house ..... Love it ..... Hehee ..... !

[@hotspringscyclist2231]

Ohhhh man, tools... I love them too... it's hard, in a van, to cut things out. Usually I don't have problems, but when I do, I am sad for my omission! What would I love to see in your videos? I'd love to see some of the things you guys do with your kid! I love compilations of their reactions to seeing their world, outtakes, observations. Kids don't get a lot of viewing time on FT RV lifestyle videos... I'm sure because someone will be quick to remind you how horrid their life must be and how much they must be missing out on {[[big eyerolls]]}. Thanks again for another great video!

[@RVOddCouple]

You are welcome😀 All great suggestions! Thank you

[@OkayNoMoreMrsNiceGuy]

You guys are so cool. I'm active military right now and I'm going to invest in an RV so I can travel once I retire. Great job!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you for your service! We have a lot of military RV Odd Squad members. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. This video made me realize 2 things. 1. my husband is very talented with tools. 2. my husband has too many darn tools. lol

[@ronmcdaniel1583]

LOVE the video! I think the role-a-way will fit In the bedroom closet!! Ha Ha Safe Travels!!

[@RVOddCouple]

lol! That's where it's stored! 😂👍 Who knew therapy and tools went together so nicely!

[@Chimp_6]

"Hey Doctor Mercedes, I think my drill press could fit in the shower !!!!!!!"

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol

[@richardbeachy9660]

You are my kinda guy. I am in the process of loading one compartment of my Motorhome with a tool chest with the tools I think I might need. It was a good video to evaluate and confirm my thinking. Good job with screw gun.

[@RVOddCouple]

Awesome! Happy to help Richard 😀👍

[@susanwarth7955]

Not for nuttin' - if we break down, we want to be parked next to you two!! My hubby couldn't bring ALL those tools - I need room for my shoes!! :-)

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol! 😂Thank you Susan!

[@Charisma2]

We want to be next to you, also! You will be worn out by the time we've all gotten your help in the RV park!

[@americaisanoblecountry2427]

Great video. Makes me want to RV now:) We are planning to part time RV travel down the road and by the time that happens we will be 'professional rookies' thanks to all the great content you both put out:)

[@stevestonacek7128]

John I'm right with you on this one. I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to part with all my tools. I have been a mechanic for over 50 years and have every tool under the sun in my boat shop. In my 25 ft. travel trailer I carry a good selection of repair tools maybe not a saws-all haven't needed one yet for short trips but like you maybe to many. One of the first trips out one of the skylights got damaged and it was raining and my trailer doesn't have a ladder on the back the RV store wanted a $375.00 for a collapsible ladder so I went to Ace hardware an bought a 12 ft extension ladder that now resides in my front bay. All my mechanics tools, tow strap, axe shovel live in the truck tool box plus the Viair compressor so they are with me when the trailer is not. I carry just about every thing you do only in a more compact way. Carrying all this stuff allows me to take care of my needs and help other people along the way. Enjoyed your video take care.

[@RVOddCouple]

Steve thank you so much for your comment. Comments like these are helping me to understand John's struggle to reduce his tools. He read your comment and he completely understood it. It's the funniest thing because he can remember when he bought which tool and what job it was for. He can't remember what we ate for breakfast, but the attachment to tools is a real struggle. And I absolutely love how you talk about helping others out along the way. That's the way to do it!

[@stevemueller5844]

You two are awesome!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you Steve! 😀💚

[@mauranoonan8951]

The E Tool is awesome! It folds up and really can dig a hole.

[@RVOddCouple]

I need 2 of those Maura! 💚

[@thomashowell9372]

Thanks!

[@jmcgilvary]

OK, now THAT was a funny intro!!

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol. Who new tools and therapy went together so well?

[@mwb6772]

LOL Love the intro! As a former mechanic and craftsman of sorts I feel your pain. Keep up the great videos. Enjoy them very much!

[@RVOddCouple]

We're going to call them "Couch Sessions" Lol

[@calebgoldberg105]

Fun video! Thanks.

[@RVOddCouple]

:-) So glad you enjoyed it!

[@RVOddCouple]

YW! Thank you for watching 😊

[@raisedbywolves-susankaren257]

Love it! The opening couch scene, HILARIOUS! Also hoping you guys are near us if we ever breakdown. Lol. Keep up the fabulous videos.

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol. We're prepared! Glad you enjoyed the toolaholic therapy! :-)

[@jacemay5197]

good info!

[@RVOddCouple]

Glad it helped! Thank you Jack!

[@erxkeel]

I would recommend instead of 3 separate ladders, just snag ya a Little Giant. It'll do all those jobs in a compact foldable package.

[@RVOddCouple]

They are so heavy!

[@mikebrandon3067]

Ok I now have a new tool hero. We’ve got to be related. You two are awesome. 😀😀👍👍

[@RVOddCouple]

What's up Brother! Lol... Thank you Mike😃👍

[@PrincessJamiG]

I just fell in love with that power washer. This was unexpected. Ha ha! #Need Great video! Your skit was hilarious, and I'd love to see more in the future. But no "pressure." ;)

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you Jami! Love our Sun Joe Pressure Washer! We had a lot of fun with the "Couch Session" We are going to sen out a pole question to the "RV Odd Squad" and let them decide if they want more? We hope that they do :) 💚💚💚

[@thompsonstravels615]

Loved the intro!! You guys are so funny! Good video.

[@RVOddCouple]

lol Thank you. What a phenomenal therapist. (just kidding) -Mercedes

[@cheryljohnson4292]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you Cheryl💚💚💚

[@sylviabovenizer]

Great intro guys!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you. We had a blast with this video.

[@stewpidasso288]

Gonna start buying tools with your links today! Thanks

[@RVOddCouple]

Awesome, thank you for the support Stew!

[@NotaFlea]

I have to admit, I have this 5 foot prybar/digging tool. I have owned it for years and it has saved our #%$ so many times, but it weighs over 25 pounds, and yet I can not let it go. My wife just shakes her head. I am down to 4 cordless tools, less hand tools than you have, my 4 roll away roll boxes now are in a hand carry. But that pry bar is not negotiable. Oh and by the way, loved hearing you mention the screen tool, one of my other must haves.

[@RVOddCouple]

I get it Jimbo! I totally get it brother! A man's and his tools!

[@popsicle33]

Oh and the intro was absolutely hilarious!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you! Yes, John needed therapy! lol!

[@leerobinson8976]

Great video! A tradesman myself, it is tough to get rid of stuff instead of acquiring more. One suggestion, you probably need 1 good cordless drill/impact. I would add a cordless 1/2 drive, why use a breaker bar if you can have power!

[@RVOddCouple]

I had all this but had to let it go. It pains me for you to suggest it. Now I need a new one. Lol 😆😂 Just Kidding, Thank you!

[@rvvanlife]

It's the tool you leave at home that winds up being the one you badly need

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol!!! So true! Thank you😀

[@davidw_52]

That is the best intro I have seen, so funny.....

[@RVOddCouple]

Hi David 😀

[@tinaandrews7572]

I almost peed my pants laughing at the Doctor part!!

[@herb7877]

THANK YOU, I thought I had a tool problem, kids play compared to you ! Showing my wife this Vid... LOL.... Last video I mentioned my method, "if i don't use it in a year, out it goes". I'm not a full timer so most of the redundancy & hardware you have I leave at home. One ladder, one electrical cord, one.... If i need something , thats what WallMart or Ace are for on the road. I use a self car wash on the road as well, except I carry an extendable handle with a wash brush on the end for debugging the front of truck & trailer.. Due to weight & storage limitations (lack of use as well) I carry about half what you're showing. I would add though, Dicor lap & tape sealant & volt/amp meter.

[@RVOddCouple]

Lol. Husbands everywhere can show this to their wives and say, "at least I'm not as bad as this guy!" LOL John just gave every husband in the RV world cover. Ha! We have most of those tools. Just missing the Dicor.

[@danielguertin9664]

OMG! I have to prepare a list way in advance to make sure we have everything. Not a mechanic at all so lots to learn!
