Spare parts for fulltiming

[mlh]

What size truck are you going to be pulling all this stuff with?
You might need a bigger one.

If your slides are cable run- carry an extra cable kit. Saved our bacon on the road in Mississippi

Per Murphy's Law, you can have a boat load of spare parts and the part that breaks will be the one you don't have.

The next question is how many of these parts can you install yourself and with the tools you will have in your camper? If you can’t install them or don’t have the necessary tools they are useless. Almost anything you need can be delivered to almost anywhere next day.

Since we aren't traveling much this year, have put ours on a diet since whatever I might need is in a big tub in the S&B's basement 107 miles away. I now only have a few items - fuses, bulbs, Shark-Bites, a/c start capacitor, Dicor & Eternabond. I also left both tool boxes since there is a NAPA 5 iles away from our seasonal site.

I usually have a tarp in my RV. It can be used for several different things.

Especially IF you need to get under your RV. It’s better than laying in the dirt.

I carry a yoga mat and a 4” kneeling pad. These old joints and body parts don’t like rough surfaces!

I’m too old for yoga…….

Carry stuff that if it breaks, you are immobile.
Anything else you can get by until you get to the next town/city.
Bearings, races, suspension bolts nuts, leaf spring, leaf spring hanger (yeah you will need to call a mobile welder, BUT, you got the part).

I agree. Plus the tools to use to work on pretty much everything. I do carry a few electronic parts as well. I don’t like not having lights, etc due to a cap or transistor failing. Some are not easy to find though they are relatively cheap!

I have a spare hydraulic line 18 feet long after having to replace 2 in 2 years. I also carry an electric slide cable line kit. Many have had them break and you are stuck where you are until you find one. Of course if someone else needs it I can sell him or her mine and get a new one.
