Spare Parts

[PopUpSteve]

In prep for my next cross country trip, I've been packing my box of spare parts. Just wondering if anyone has some additional suggestions?

• Awning Ball Receivers
• Bungee Ends Hooks
• Bungee Under Bunk Hooks
• Camper Fuses
• Fuses for Tow Vehicle (in cabin & under the hood)
• Battery Fuse
• Solar Panel Fuse
• Shepherd Pole Ends
• LED Lights
• Bolts for Steps
• Battery Box Strap
• PUGS Bungee End Hooks

not spare parts, but either have your solar gadgets' manuals with you as a hard copy or as pdfs on a tablet or laptop (or a phone). Especially if an app needs a OEM password.

spare parts are not too important as you are never too far from a source - like common fuses at any hardware store or auto parts house. And something larger, like a small Inverter or chargere or even a solar suitcase can be picked up at a harbor freight (as I did). Lugging around too much spare stuff gets old after a few trips.

Well, when you're camping far from home and a part like a Shepherd Pole Ends breaks, the local hardware store may not be able to fill your needs.

I take a binder with all manuals that the PO was nice enough to provide.

How about some 1157 bulbs, or whatever you're running in your PUP tailights? I always have clearance lights and tail light spares.

Wheel bearings, seals, and grease or perhaps one of the hub kits with greased bearings and a seal already installed.

While I’ve never needed spare bearings, seals and such, I’ve seen enough trailers on the side of the road with one hub off I think a spare set is prudent.
Around here the likely suspects are firewood or boat trailers.

I’ve got a little plastic tub of assorted screws, nuts and bolts on board. I also have a little coil of electric wire or two. I have snagged a wire or two pulling into a spot at night while boondocking a time or two.

Good luck and beware the long list.

@PopUpSteve your list has some items I don't carry but I always have a few crimp butt connectors and ring terminals, never needed them though. Plus I have a couple of nuts and bolts for the propane tank mounts, I have needed those.
