How much of a toolkit do you go away with?

[Bill]

I have a 57 plate motorhome so shouldn't need a thing, but every time I go away planning to take a Leatherman and nothing else* I can't help but think "what if" and start eyeing up my tool kit.





* Plus cable ties and gaffer tape obv.



And a small set of spanners and a drill/driver just in case.

Normally i take,
socket set
wheel wrench
screw divers
cable ties
gaffer tape
mallett
electrical tape
head torch
OBD II reader
tyre weld

and thats about it, that about covers the car and caravan

I don't have enough payload to take all that!

I bought a small leatherette wallet thing with a variety of screwdrivers, a couple of spanners, soldering iron(!), pliers, knife etc and then a big pack of assorted cable ties and a big roll of duck tape - everyone knows that everything can be fixed with large supplies of duck tape!!

Only thing that ever went wrong with our Ducato 2.3JTD based Motorhome was the turbo pipe blowing off, fixed (temporarily) with my leatherman.

Typically it happened in the worst place possible!

I bought one of these 96 pieces for 20 quid touches in a nice bag from Halfrauds...and added a few bits to fill the bit a bit.

Im paranoid after my TVR ownership days
