When we bought our coach the PO had a FLOOR JACK he carried. Like WTH?
That and many other things are long gone.

MattC commented about packing extra cords for CF:
"We left home about two weeks ago in a 23' coach already loaded at least to capacity for this excursion. We are already short a number items from our
standard kit." Wow that scares me. Matt being a long time waterman certainly would not be in the habit of "packing fat".
This is gonna be a real learning experience for us. Most of our long duration travel before now has been in the Vette or on the Harley. Right now,
before really starting to load up, we are looking at all this space and wondering how we are going to fill it all. The CFO said a long time ago
"Don't bring enough tools to rebuild the coach or big spare parts." After loading the tools and spares she said "is that all?" So in goes the spare
axle, starter, and a few other smaller things. That is after a spare distributor, goverenor, air bag, electric fuel pump, bearing tool,etc. were
already on board
We haven't started on kitchen or clothes yet, or the bath. I guess we have a lot to learn. I also hope CF has all the stores we need to get what we
didn't think we'ed need.
Ahh - the GMC learning experience continues down a new track.

As a matter of fact that's about the heaviest thing I do carry. I can lift front or back for repairs or tire change. I also carry 1 jack stand to use as a tail stand at every overnight stay in case of bag or air line failure. I don't carry many spare parts other than a spare air bag, belts and a fan clutch since most everything else that I may need to get back on the road can be sourced as needed.
I also try to stay aware that there is a payload limit that is a lot less than just what can be crammed in the door. With my family of four on board I think we have roughly 400 lbs of additional stuff (food, clothes, tools) to play with, maybe a little less. It adds up quick, although I don't formally weigh every piece. I even travel with less than full water if I know I can get more where we are going.
