What RV repair part do you need for windows? Gravel started bouncing off our windshield, and then—thunk—a nickel-sized crack appeared right in the center. As we drove I kept one eye on the crack. Before heading into the museum, I grabbed a 5-gallon bucket to use as a step, pulled out a windshield repair kit, and got to work. Now, we never hit the road without a windshield repair kit in our RV. What other RV supplies do you need for your windows? We were cruising home after a long trip, when something in the side mirror caught my eye—one of our windows was flapping wildly in the wind! I grabbed our roll of duct tape and carefully secured the window, ensuring it would stay put for the rest of our journey. But, within 5 minutes we were back on the road. What is the best RV repair part for electrical issues? I went to extend the slideouts, anticipating a smooth setup. But when I hit the switch—nothing. As these things often go, we tried a few different troubleshooting steps before the technician mentioned a poorly described hidden 5-amp fuse for the slideout switch. Sure enough, when I checked it, the fuse was blown. Luckily, I had a pack of assorted fuses in the RV, and after replacing it, the slideouts came back to life, allowing us to finally set up camp. What RV supplies do you need for broken cabinet doors? As I’m driving in traffic I can’t look behind me and see what happened. Apparently, a wood framed, glass cabinet door fell off the overhead cabinet So, I decided the fix would be larger screws to keep the door in its proper location. What supply is needed for many RV repairs? We’ve used this item in our RV so many times . What we do when screws fall out is dip the screws in construction adhesive and put everything back together. The adhesive acts like thread lock and keeps the screws from falling out.

Driving your RV on the road is like rolling through an earthquake and you’ll need tools to repair all the damage as you set up camp.

How do you diagnose electrical problems in an RV? The first thing you need to do is make sure your battery disconnect switch is on followed by checking the appropriate fuses and breakers. Once that is done it's time to get your multimeter. A multimeter allows you to measure the voltage in your RV's electrical system. This is crucial when you're troubleshooting issues with your batteries, slideouts, or any other electrical components. What basic tool do I need for RV plumbing? We all know a few critical repair parts and some teflon tape go a long way in working through plumbing issues while you're on the road. But we found that a good pair of Adjustable pliers or Channel Locks is a lifesaver while traveling. What tools do you need for your RV tires? When asking this question most people are focused on how to change a tire and people will respond with a lug wrench, a jack, and a jack stand. But one of the best items for your tires is a tire pressure management system that provide real time pressure and temperature data for all your tires, But If you have a tire gauge and a tire inflator while traveling you can check your tires routinely and add or remove air as needed. What tool do you need to repair electrical issues in an RV? When replacing the LED light fixtures wire strippers are the right tool for the job and are great for cutting wire, stripping the insulation, and crimping the wire connectors. Again, wire strippers allow you to safely strip the insulation from wires so you can reconnect them or replace damaged sections. But, more importantly good wire cutters come with an integrated crimping tool for use with electrical fittings like butt connectors. It’s probably the only thing you will use it for but is priceless when you need it. What is the most important tool to have in your RV? We’ve been traveling in our RV for 9 years and we’ve found a lot of tools to be helpful. On our overhead bunk the locking pin continued to come out as we drove down the road. It was nice to have a hammer to pound it back in as we were driving. But so many screws fall out and without a screwdriver we would never be able to fix our dinette table, door hinges, or cabinet doors. But, some screws are phillips, some are regular but now we also have square and star patterns. An assorted stack of open end wrenches are helpful to tighten nuts and bolts. But, needle nose pliers have saved our day, too. But, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed a socket wrench to do minor repairs. You need to purchase a household multi tool kit that has all of these tools stored in a compact package. Make sure you also get a kit with allen keys and micro screwdrivers.

and a couple of cafes. But if you want a sit down meal with table service there are only three to four restaurants in the Grand Canyon that will serve you. When we went to one of these restaurants they would seat you with a wait list. But plan on an hour or more. But another would seat you only if there was an available table. They don't take reservations or put you on a wait list. Others take reservations like the famous El Tovar Hotel restaurant but you have to make those reservations 30 days in advance. So if you wait until the last minute plan on bringing your own food for meals or expect to wait in for lunch and dinner. Many people like guided tours and excursions. These also need to be researched and reserved in advance. But even more important is to make lodging reservations way ahead of time. We stayed at Trailer Village and those reservations can be made over a year in advance. Hotels, campgrounds, and other lodging fill up fast.
