Mobile RV Service: Organizing Tools and Gear for Efficient Repairs on the Go

Mobile RV service is kind of unique,
so we need a lot of tools and really weird stuff.
Now, while I love a sprinter van or utility truck,
the Suburban’s gonna have to do for now.
Still have the trailer and it’s not going anywhere.
I’m just tired of pulling it every day.
So I thought
outside the box on how I can keep the front of my truck normal.
Maybe get a little seat organizer for some of my stuff.
And the back seat is still somewhat normal.
This seats flipped up right now.
Um, I have my tool bag here,
which is really 50% of my service calls.
I refuse to get rid of my woofers,
so I just had to relocate it from over here to here.
So I got to move the amp, and I don’t have enough wire.
Took the third row out,
and apparently the lady who on the truck before me had like
6 clip kids and have never cleaned underneath the seat,
so it was disgusting underneath there,
and it still is. But anyway,
I have all my skill above tools over there.
Cody Womble, uh,
peacemaker, step tester.
I intentionally left this space empty
because occasionally I have to bring parts out.
Those three drawers are like my miscellaneous, uh,
consumables and glues and bits and a lot of weird stuff.
Top bin is all of my sealants,
tapes, bottle,
all that fun stuff.
Bottom been there is all the parts That I carry on board,
which is things like converters and certain, uh,
commonly failed parts, control boards and stuff like that.
Top bin is more of my consumables. Rags,
cleaning stuff, things like that.
Got a vacuum.
I don’t use PEX often because it doesn’t really fail in RVs.
The fittings do, but I do still keep it on the truck.
And then the rear is where all the magic happens.
This is all of my most used stuff before I get into the boxes,
of course. I got my knee pad,
slash, foam creeper.
Got a table over here as a workbench.
This pack out is pretty much all the hardware I ever need
while I’m out in the field.
Bottom one is a Milwaukee socket.
Set up. Here is plumbing fittings and, uh,
all that miscellaneous stuff.
And the bottom one is all of my electrical fittings.
And I can actually carry a pretty impressive amount of tools out
in these packouts. I mean your hand tools.
I got all my wrenches down there,
all my pliers and such. Here,
uh, other miscellaneous scrapers and what not.
Here,
all of my picks and deburring tools and all that fun stuff.
As top one is pretty much diagnostic stuff,
which is pretty much all three of these drawers.
This drawer is not really being utilized very well.
This side I have all of my heavy tools, hammers,
pry bars and what not. My 4 foot snap on pry Bar is down there.
And then I’ve got both my nailers there.
Use those quite a bit in the RV world.
18 volt tools, all ball tools.
Then, of course,
an extension ladder and an a frame ladder on the roof.
Now, again,
I’m still going to use the trailer,
but on bigger jobs. And I got to bring air conditioners out
or I’m doing axle services.
And very shortly here it will be set up
pretty much just for winterizing. Again.
I would love to have a sprinter van or an ambulance or a service truck,
but it’s not in the budget.
And it’s about to slow down for the winter.
Still kind of nervous about that,
but we’ll see how it goes.
Now that that project’s done,
it’s time to start this project.
She got a brand new Predator 4 20 ready to go in it
with a brand new comet drive clutch and driven clutch and a new belt.
No worries.
The golf cart should be ready by the time winter rolls around.
