Simple Tip! Something Every RVer Should Have.
Having a couple of items always ready to use on the RV can speed up the process of any time you have a problem or need to fix something on the RV. I use a drill or an impact driver all the time and I try to keep the battery charged up so I can use it any time the need arises. A drill can be useful to speed things up when you need to put your RV awning in a dead battery for your RV with the Electric leveling system. If I needed to get a new set of drills I would get the ones on the list below.

Good info. 👍
Did you mount the spare tire there as an enhancement? If so what part did you use
I switched to Milwaukee m12 12v tools a couple of years ago. Love the compact size and great power and battery life. I use the their packout boxes as well.
What awning do you have. Pretty cool that it has manual retract. They should make all electric awnings that way.
Thanks for all the great advice for RVers!
It's a Robertson, not a square bit. They also come in three different sizes.
Worse mistake I made was grabbing my drill and a only partially charged battery that went dead halfway between a 25 day trip! Cranking those stabilizers by hand in 95 degree heat taught me a lesson I hope I never repeat!
Agree 100%. Don't leave home without them.
Thanks!
Finally a movie clip with tools that have actually been used instead of a clip with spotless new tools that have never been used. It makes the suggestions much more believable.
Hey ya know, ya could stand buffing them arms up a bit. Ain’t doing that with a drill…
Looks like you’ve certainly used the drill plenty! Nice job showing the tools to have/use. I can’t believe I cranked my scissor jacks down for years. The drill is so much better!
Yup I’ve got an impact, drill, sawsall and pole chainsaw that run on the same batteries
You lost me at dewalt…😄
From what I can tell, the most important feature of an impact drill is the amount of annoying noise it can make a 7 am.
Thanks Jared. Always appreciate your good advice
Great info. Thank you!
Sell out
Oh yea I owned a DeWalt Cordless Drill for all of 15-16 years! An 18 v I bought as part of the 4 tools an light set in a handy carrying case from the big orange store. That all lasted me a good 15 years, but with three sets of batteries that are expensive! Especially the DeWalt. But I replaced it with a Harbor Freight Braun 24v impact driver that’s actually amazing for the $140, including two batteries and charger. Plus another extremely handy cordless compressor, the same brand, Braun, that uses the same batteries. It’s also a 24v compressor and blower/work light, that’s a digital set an forget that’s very accurate. So before every trip I set it to 35 lbs, hook up to each wheel on my truck that takes just a few more moments than using a gauge to check the psi, then at 65 on my travel trailer. Definitely worth every one of the $76 I spent on it!
Love it and absolutely agree- cordless drill is invaluable!
Make sure not to use impacts on your rv’s geared devices. According to every rv technician I have spoken with, impacts cause damage from the vibration that they cause. Only use a drill that doesn’t have the additional rotational impacts. For impacts that use a socket adapter, use Dewalt brand adapters; they blew the competition away in testing for strength. 3/4” fits most stabilizer jacks. 17mm (I think) is what fits an x-chock.
Did you mention not to use chrome vanadium sockets with your impact driver? Big no-no.
Thx…love your channel! You are my go to YouTuber for RV!!
It’s recommended to only use impact rated sockets with an impact wrench.
Impact and screw gun with 1/4” 3/8” 1/2” adapters and the best socket sets you can buy
Great video for the Newbie!
Thumbs Up!

Never leave home without my drills.
This makes me feel a lot better about the tools that I bring on every trip. I've been told I bring too many tools.
I stopped using my drill driver for my stabilizers because of the wrist twist issue if you do it wrong. Does the impact gun reduce the twist?
I went to one of our cheapo. Stores. I bought certain specific tools for different things on the rv. Don't need a super huge toolbox. Battery stuff. Slides, steps.and some electrical. . Water heater… This leaves my toolbox intact at home.
