The variety and quantity of tools one will need on the road full time will vary greatly based on a number of factors. The type of projects you will handle yourself is the primary factor.

If you’re full time RV living like us, bring everything you can. Particularly if you have no home base like us. If you’re part time, just bring the basics (socket set, screwdrivers, etc). You can complete the big projects when you’re at your home base with access to all of your tools.

But, even part-timers and weekenders should have some essentials on hand.
