See Description for our must-have emergency roadside toolkit for RV life #rvliving #fulltimerv

It’s the law of averages. When you travel full time, you’re bound to end up changing a tire on the side of the road at some point.

Even if you’ve got new tires. A metal flap could fall from under your slide and eat a huge gouge into your tire (yes, that’s what happened to our tire)

So here’s our must-have roadside toolkit for RV travels ⬇️

➡️ Jack: we’ve gotten a lot of use out of the bottle jack that came with our truck, but it’s probably not big enough to lift the RV on its own, so we rolled one tire on blocks to take some of the weight.

➡️ Blocks: you’ve already got these for leveling, and you might be able to use them to raise one side of the RV for changing a tire.

➡️ Sockets & breaker bar: Make sure you’ve got sockets or a 4 way lug wrench that fit your trailer tire lug nuts so that you can remove them to change the tire.

➡️ Spare tire: Do you have a spare tire that’s in good enough condition to drive on for a while? There might not be a tire shop for many miles.

➡️ Drill, extra screws & duck tape 😆 You never know what you might need to fix hauling your house down the road. Our Milwaukee battery powered drill set is one of the best tool investments we’ve made. And it didn’t let us down when Craig had to drill new holes in the piece of metal so he could replace the old screws that pulled out and keep it from falling onto the tire again.

➡️ Good flashlight: If you drive at night, you’re going to want something better than your phone flashlight to light up your work area.

Is there anything else you’d add to a must-have roadside toolkit?

I would add cones and reflective vests to the kit. Glad it all worked out!!

When you haul your entire "house" with you wherever you go, things tend to breakdown and wear out a bit faster!
