And I thought that I carried a lot of spares. I carry a starter, complete Computer Controlled distributor, fuel injection computer, distributor cap,
12-volt air compressor and fuel injection fuel pump to round out the bigger pieces. Small stuff includes ignition modules, module grease, distributor
wiring harnesses, set of belts, spare tire pressure monitoring sensors and batteries, fuel filters, electrical connectors, and other small items.
Tools include an electric impact wrench, assortment of pliers, sockets in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sizes with a large assortment of end wrenches,
screwdrivers, rubber mallet, hammer, motor oil, transmission fluid, hatchet and other stuff I can't remember I have. Test equipment includes a timing
light, multimeter, module tester, laptop for EBL, test light, and other things I can't remember. I use an App on my phone to help me locate the stuff
I keep on board since they are stored all over.
In the over 22 years I've had the coach, the only items I've had to use relate to ignition and fuel. I've replaced the module more than once, but
only one time was it bad. Also a distributor cap, and the wiring harness from the cap to the distributor base. I changed fuel filters once on the
road. I probably get away with just keeping the starter and ignition stuff and less tools.
