What’s in your toolbox
Along with a full set of tools to handle any bolt or nut on both the TV and RV there are a few other essential items I will not travel without. These are items that I will need if I, or a neighbor should have an electrical or many other problems. I hate to borrow from others. This list may not include all that I carry.
1) Battery operated nut driver and drill
2) Assortment of wire ends and crimping tool
3) A decent multi-meter, I use a Beckman Circuitmate DM25L
4) A 12v tester with ground clamp and probe. Lights up when 12v is present.
5) Several small jumper cables and electric soldering gun
6) 150 psi 120v air compressor and accessories
7) ½” drive 250 ft lb. torque wrench
8) Finally one of the greatest little gadgets I have along and use often at home is a Voltage Detector (see photo below) This will test any circuit from 50 to 1000 volts (AC only), it is very sensitive and will detect voltage on a service cable by just putting the end on the cable. It lights up and has an audible indicator as well. A must have as far as I am concerned.
The dime beside it is just to give you an idea of the size.
