So am going over my spares for the coach and I carry all the filters and backup fuel filters I think most do, but also opened up the big ammo can with all the weird stuff I carry.

You need to peek in Mike Rash basement. A lot there and organized. Your not helpless either Scott but you better add a D2 governor and belts. Don't you just like someone sitting on the side lines waiting to pick you apart. Couldn't help myself.

Suspect you have to much to list all. I met a new to the hobby fellow in Durango last year that had a new Tiffin. He claimed he doesn't carry as much as a screwdriver. I didn't know how to respond to the man. Had a rear radiator and a bed that doesn't raise. I asked how he got to the engine and he said there is a 2 ft panel in the closet for that. I would be afraid to leave the barn like that. Even a man that has no skills can haul parts and tools because a young man that has skills and no tools or parts may happen up on him on the side of a deserted highway. Helpless is a feeling best avoided if possible.

I agree 100% Ive also found if you have the spares you may possible need you will never use them on your own stuff. Getting ahead of stuff makes for boring stories too. Im hoping for a uneventful trip. With really big fuel charges. That will give me something to complain about. Like many say though they carry a very well equipped credit card. I eventually will have our coach caught up and maybe then Ill worry less. For now ill carry all I can within reason. The idea of being stuck in the middle of nowhere and no toad just doesn't sit well.

Caught up on a coach or not I need to have means with me. Good idea to have the few pieces along that are known to break.
