 ERIBAFOLK POP UP EVERYWHERE |
|
I attempted to make up a small toolbox yesterday for any adjustments/repairs that might be required whilst underway. The result was less than satisfactory and the end result was an even bigger tool box than what is usually to be found in the garage.
So what may I ask, do some of you lot with years of towing under your belt consider necessary/essential to have onboard? I've already picked up the idea of a hammer and some WD40 from another thread.

....but you've forgotten the tape Gaffer !!
We use an old ruck sack as it's easier to "squash" in than a toolbox.
Cable ties and a few lengths of electrical wire to tie up anything that falls off the bottom of the car/van or to rewire a dragging cable..
Araldite Rapid.
Scotch Locks.
Spare Fuses.
A British 13 amp plug and fuses (or in your case if visiting us, a Euro one). This is so that if your kettle etc gives up on you, you can buy a new one. As an alternative or as well as, a "foreign" extension cable with a friendly plug on it.
I'll leave it there as otherwise I'll be on here all day

I bought a comprehensive tool kit from B&Q that has just about everything mentioned in previous posts but with every successive trip I've added things like insulating tape, cable ties, duct tape, electrical wire, superglue etc.
I also carry my Ctek battery charger just in case (as happened once) the BIP unit decides not to recharge the battery from the EHU.
Roger's tip regarding the spare UK plug is a good one. 
I initially thought that if an appliance failed while abroad you could simply use the original plug as a replacement - forgetting that so many appliances now come with moulded-on plugs that cannot be re-used.

Scotch Locks......Work of the devil, in my very humble opinion.

Shouldn't be too much of a job. Why not have a go, Tony?
Things that attempt to serve two purposes often aren't as much of a success as two things that serve one purpose each.

It needs handles and it should fit just inside the door. Anybody seen one?

I take one of these which is a step up as well as a toolbox, it lived in the back of the pick up full time but I will need to have a sort out in there before it lives in the new car.

I will also have to slide the 2 ton trolley jack in the boot somewhere too as the car one will be no good for the eriba as for the step the new triton has one that folds under the van.
Most useful tools? a claw hammer to pull out as well as knock in pegs a selection of screw drivers and an adjustable spanner for the tv aerial clamp multimeter and spare fuses + loads more in the box
