What’s in my RV toolbag

I actually carry two toolbags in my RV.  I have one for setup and teardown and a second for general use.  My setup bag contains all the tools I need for setting up and tearing down the trailer.  I chose an open style bag for easy access.  It contains the following items:

• drill for lowering and raising the stabilizers
• rubber mallet for the tire chocks
• level
• all the cotter pins for the sway bars and weight distribution bars
• tongue pin/lock
• shank pin/lock
• water regulator
• inline water filter
• gloves
