Am hoping someone out there has put together a basic list of tools that may be required to perform simple roadside repairs like swapping belts, airbag replacements, and whatever else may pop up that doesn't necessarily require a tow.

Jared,

There have been several, but one is posted over on the GMC information page.

There really isn't much you wouldn't think of if you just thought about it. Much of the consideration is what you would be comfortable tackling at the road side.

Where is the GMC information page, I must have missed it.

You should have already replaced the alternator,
starter, hoses, carb, dist, water pump and all that mess and you should
know their condition.

When the pin shears, it leaves a longer piece in the middle than the two end pieces -at least on OMC motors. Back in The Day, I've gotten the family houseboat back to port more than once by simply swapping the pieces of the pin and going real gently.

Keep that original jack and chain. Eric Tanner told me the story when he shredded a tire a couple years ago. It took out the airlines to the bags and knocked off the valve stem to the other tire and left him sitting on the bogie. The only thing that lifted that coach up was the original bottle jack and chain.

New 100a alternator

Starter was replaced with the engine about 15k miles ago, still has the stickers on it

Hoses, not yet, but all the coolant hoses and fuel lines are supple (even the hoses running to the water heater), am going to finish replacing all the
fuel lines under the hood just because I can and the rest will be done over the winter.

Carb, nope..... Fuel Injected with new pump and new before and after filters.

Distributor was also replaced with the engine, already have spare module and coil.

Water Pump was also replaced with the engine.

I do plan on replacing the belts cause that seems way simpler in the driveway than the highway.

Seems like I am pretty close. I have all of the tools mentioned on the list, the coach even came with a brand new 6 ton jack still in the box.

Speaking of jacks, it also came with the original jack and chain...... is that something I should even bother with or should I leave it at home?

Thanks for the info Jim,

Jared
