Essential RV Tools

Over the years, I have had to make use of tools for minor problems such as tightening screws and other things. I keep a well-stocked tool box in my motorhome's storage compartment and a drill gun inside in a cabinet under the sink.

Do It Yourself RV has posted an article on what essential tooks every RV owner should carry. Most on the list I have.

They begin with:

Over the years, my family and I have become seasoned travelers in our RVs, encountering a myriad of leaks, malfunctions, and other challenges.

We’ve found a reliable educator in ‘YouTube University,’ where a few instructional videos equip us with the knowledge needed to tackle most issues. Armed with our essential toolkit, we’ve successfully resolved these problems ourselves.

Through numerous repairs on our RV journeys, we’ve honed our understanding of the essential tools needed for life on the road. Here’s a curated list of indispensable tools for any RV adventure.

Bench Vise

Over the past five years, I could have used a bench vise for working on some small projects. Somehow, I managed to complete them even without one. 

Finally, I decided to buy one and did. It is a small 4.5" Irwin bench vise I picked up last month at Gallup Lumber (an Ace Hardware store). The price and size were right. The only thing I needed to mount it on the garage work table were bolts, nuts and washers. 

I finally got those and mounted the vise yesterday after getting my drill out of the motorhome. 

The vise swivels on its base, so it will make working with it easier.
