What tool, or equipment am I missing for a GMC while on the road?

[Bob Dunahugh]

My right rear compartment now has a 3/4" piece of maple plywood top to bottom, and side to side. Then put a coat of clear outdoor urethane on it. At the bottom I have about 3" of clearance to the hatch door. At the top there's about 6". I have a 12 volt light, and a 110 volt wall plug mounted. The vent in the hatch will be covered on the inside with a black cover of some type. My goal is to now mount all the tools that I would ever need while on the road. Thus out of the interior, and simple to find/ keep track of. (None of us have EVER had that issue. RIGHT.) I now want to mount all these items on that vertical plywood back wall. I'm thinking of basic tools needed only. This is something most of us gear heads need to think about. Unless you take about everything with you.

All 1/4,3/8,1/2 sockets to 1 1/2" in size. Then about 3 - 3/4" drive sockets for lug nuts, and axle nuts. All standard depth. Not deep wells.

Ratchets, and extensions as listed for above. Plus 1 - 3/4 backer bar.

3 strait, 3 Philips, and 1 square drive. screw drivers

Plyers at 1 each. Needle nose, regular, de utter, a small, and large slip joint.

I each of a small, and medium adjustable end wrench.

Open/box wrench's from 1/4" to 1".

Torque wrench

Medium hammer.

Funnel

Allen wrench set.

LARGE pry bar.

Inferred temp device

GOOD Volt/Ohm meter.

110 volt circuit tester.

Tire gauge

Jack will go elsewhere.

So. What am I overlooking. Has to be something more to hang on my tool wall.

Bob,

You haven't mentioned the front wheel bearing tool nor any other
specialized GMC tools.

Be sure that 1/4" socket set includes the 9/32" socket, and 6" extension --
AFAIK, the starter switch lead on the starter solenoid is the only place
that size is used on the coach, but that wrench is essential to easy
starter replacement.

I'm convinced that only about 1/2 of the wrench sizes you propose are even
used used on the GMC. But I can't prove it. I once tried to get everyone
at Bean Station to record, on a sheet I provided, every wrench size
actually used in the shop there. My idea was that at the end I could offer
a list of "everything needed". Didn't get much cooperation. I haven't had
much luck getting myself to do it either.

Maybe we could run such a survey here?

Just looked in my tool box and this is what I have missing from your list.
Banding tool for CV joint bands. Ya never know when one of those boots is going to split.
Allen wrench set. Never thought I'd need that until I needed them to tighten antenna crank handle to spindle
allen sockets used to hold brake calipers to knuckle.
swivel for 3/8 and 1/2 drive sockets
Tire plugs and tools to plug nail hole in tire.
Brake pliers (if you have drum brakes)
wire cutters
wire stripper/crimper
sharp chisel
razor knife
vice grips
My open end wrenches have ratchet sockets on the other ends...REALLY handy!
digital vernier caliper.
Bolt cutter...yup...lost keys to a paddle lock that had to come off....twice.
Oil filter wrench...if you are on the road for extended periods.

I save some space with a kit of wierd drivers. Torx in several sizes, hex, square, '8', all in a fairly compact snap shout box. I've a Stanley 1/4"
drive set up to 1/2 and 13mm, with the 9/32 for the starter wire. 3/8 and half inch up to an inch, individual ones for bigger stuff. Torque wrench.
A couple sets of combination, metric and SAE. I'm with Ken, let's figure out which ones we need. The metrics are for the Kia, but again I think
about half of them could stay home. I have a mild case of Zhookoff's Disease, wherein when you need a weird tool, instead of borrowing or renting
from Advance/AutoZone, you buy it. George has a full-blown case, he has everything. I don't need the calipers but do travel with somewhat more
electronics junk, like Molex tools and strange crimpers for wierd connectors. My Fluke meter has an amp clamp for monitoring AC useage and I've a
couple of analog meters for most electrical service. I lust for a Simpson 260 in the ruggedized rolltop case. I have a temp meter. Screwdrivers and
pliers in standard sizes. The driver kit also has security hex and torx drivers which have come in handy now and again.
I didn't realize how muck in the way of tools I've got until I started cleaning out my 23' for the gent who's buying it. I left him an ignition
module and mechanical fuel pump, I've ones for my 26' as well. A set of good used belts is essential, and some lengths of various size vacuum, fuel,
and radiator hoses.
May approach on the road is sufficient tolls and stuff to make it go to the house where I cen get serious about fixing whatever. This cuts down on
spares and tools.

1 funnel with extension hose.

Now to many this may seem like a lot of things to bring along, but I have found that I can repair or at least get most things running again in order to get from the boondocks to civilization. I think the most important spare parts to carry are the distributor parts. I have added to this list over the last 20 years and have used about everything on it at one time or the other while traveling.

I have seen others carry electric impact wrenches, air operated tools, pop rivet guns, water pump, starter, alternator, etc; but since my wife has limited me to these two spaces, I have found the tools and parts I carry sufficient for my needs. Now, the other extremes are to either carry a gun to put it out of its misery or just a cell phone and a credit card!!!!

The list I provided is what I carry. I have used a lot of the tools on my motorhome over the years while traveling; hHowever, I always do a lot of work on other peoples GMCs at rallies so a good selection of tools is helpful.

I used to take many, many tools to rallies and wound up using them a lot,
on coaches other than mine. Now, I do seminars, and frequently cook for
rallies, so I do not have time to do much repair on coaches. Some tools
that I Never travel without is my electrical test kit. It has my trusty
Fluke 77, a 12 volt light bulb tester with a sharp probe, jumpers with
insulated alligator clips and a inline fuse holder, various crimp
connectors, noid lights, my trusty laptop and jumpers for Howell fuel
injection. I do take my brake bleeder setup to help stranded coaches as
well. One new tool that I sometimes carry is my color video diagnostic
fiber optic camera. It is small enough to go into a spark plug hole, has
zoom and lighting. It will verify burned valves, liquids in cylinders,
broken rings and pistons, scored cylinders, etc.

Well, Emery finally got to a timing light.
I carry that and a vacuum gauge as I see both as essential diagnostic tools.
I also did not see much for grease guns. With the bogies being a 1k lube interval, that might be classed with make up engine lube oil.
We also carry the OE jack set because it is useful. That a 1/2 breaker bar with a 7/8 socket and a pipe to change out a tire.
Much of that is under the rear dinette seat. Also there is a 12V air compressor that is frequently used to pump up the bicycle tires because the only
tubes available these days are Chinese and they do not hold air that well.

There is also a "long reach thing grabber" (you push one end and fingers stick out of the other). We don't count the machete, shovel or belly board
as they all have many other uses.

I am another special case. You may recall that we have a 23. In the space under the reefer is a one-hand tool box. It contains most of what has
been mentioned. There is one set of tools in there that I have had for years now and would like to never be without. That is the three piece set of
hex grabbing Vice Grips. They do so many things well.

There are some other things scattered about like the meter that lives in the electric cabinet (with the timing light and a test light) and the
changeable point point screw driver that lives in the silver drawer. As was put once - the continual earth quake - tends to loosen things.

The only heavy spare I carry is a starter. If I can ever figure out how to start the main engine without that, I will leave that home. It turns out
that they can still be rough to get on a Sunday in BFE.

And don't forget the block of wood or piece of pipe to substitute for a blown air bag! Specs/dimensions are here on the GMCnet but I haven't searched
for them, just measured and made my own 4X4 ready with lag screws and pre-drilled holes for them.

This has all been extremely interesting. And the list is growing. In the past I've brought a lot with me. But now with this 78 GMC. Everything, and I mean everything has been either rebuilt, or replaced. So it's basically a new coach. And it's true that new things quit. The trans in it now has about 22,000 miles on it. Works fine. May leave it in till Summer. BUT, just to be super safe. I have a replacement one coming from Manny to put in. So I need to figure out a list of tools that's right for my situation between no tools. And as some do. Bringing the tool store. Next issue will a list the spare parts. So that' the next post question tomorrow. Plus I think these two topic's might be of value to all. And the newbie's. Bob Dunahugh

My right rear compartment now has a 3/4" piece of maple plywood top to bottom, and side to side. Then put a coat of clear outdoor urethane on it. At the bottom I have about 3" of clearance to the hatch door. At the top there's about 6". I have a 12 volt light, and a 110 volt wall plug mounted. The vent in the hatch will be covered on the inside with a black cover of some type. My goal is to now mount all the tools that I would ever need while on the road. Thus out of the interior, and simple to find/ keep track of. (None of us have EVER had that issue. RIGHT.) I now want to mount all these items on that vertical plywood back wall. I'm thinking of basic tools needed only. This is something most of us gear heads need to think about. Unless you take about everything with you.

All 1/4,3/8,1/2 sockets to 1 1/2" in size. Then about 3 - 3/4" drive sockets for lug nuts, and axle nuts. All standard depth. Not deep wells.

Ratchets, and extensions as listed for above. Plus 1 - 3/4 backer bar.

3 strait, 3 Philips, and 1 square drive. screw drivers

Plyers at 1 each. Needle nose, regular, de utter, a small, and large slip joint.

I each of a small, and medium adjustable end wrench.

Open/box wrench's from 1/4" to 1".

Torque wrench

Medium hammer.

Funnel

Allen wrench set.

LARGE pry bar.

Inferred temp device

GOOD Volt/Ohm meter.

110 volt circuit tester.

Tire gauge

Jack will go elsewhere.

So. What am I overlooking. Has to be something more to hang on my tool wall.
