small tool kit,I try for multipurpose tools and if I cannot fix it with those items call the man. I'mgoing camping not to rebuild my tt. Do a check of all items to make sure nothing is wearing out before leaving in the military (Navy)it's called PMing equipment so it will workwhen you need it.

Hi,
My Tool to add would be a high visibility vest with reflector stripes to wear when you need to do some work on your rig while on the side of a highway. It is light and does not take up much space. And may save your life.

Add to the list a fold down orange marker cone. Easy to store and pops up to full size. If stuck on the road set it out down road from you.

Thought about doing the same, but we have Lynx Levelers that would suffice as safety markers spread down the road.

Not trying to be smart but what tools a person needs depends greatly on their ability to use them. For some people it is worth it to carry a lot because they will fix whatever comes up . Others just need roadside assistance and a credit card. I have met people not only in RVing but everywhere who have a fortune in tools but would never have a clue how to use them. Be honest about your ability and willingness to fix problems as they come up and decide from there what you personally need.

That is a good idea BUT while we know what these are, the average guy in a car is going to react to a large orange cone in the road a lot faster and probably will be trying to figure out what the orange or yellow lego blocks are doing in the road, rather than paying attention to what he is about to hit.

That's a good point. I carry flares. Hard to mistake what it is for.

Emergency repair tape. It is rubbery and sticks well to itself. You use it for repairing a radiator hose, house pipes, insulate electric lines, and many uses only limited by your imagination and needs.
Also some sort of ladder
