This is part two for the tools you should have in every RV. The first video I did about this had more of the basics, the tools in this video are for the people who are a little more skilled and doing actual DIY work and repairs.  No matter your skill set, and these are great tools to have to learn how to make your own RV repairs.

I like the 12v test lights that show you the voltage.

I use a skeletool cx from Leatherman for my multitool. I love how sleek it is and use it every day for work. I customized all the bits I can change with it. Absolutely love it.

Ok, so let me start by saying how much I like his video. This is the first one, but very spot on. Second, I have mixed thoughts on the Propane leak test. It's perfect. That is exactly how you should do it, BUT, you should always hire a pro that is fire marshall approved. With that said, his method is perfect.

The most useful tool I have out of the many hundreds of dollars of others , no joke ,is a wooden bamboo backscratcher! You can be very resourceful and creative without having boxes of expensive tools. Just need to know when to hold them and when to fold them. For real!

Other parts of the world only use Wago connectors and would never use a wire nut or butt splice. They are used all the time on 120VAC here in the USA. Also Klein's are not just "acceptable" they are the standard for electrical tools. Get Klein and you won't be frustrated with the strippers whoch are the most variable aspect of the tool.

Been using Wago's for years in homes. They don't fail anymore than a wire nut. The same argument could be made with copper and pex. Some plumbers hate pex because they don't think it's as reliable as copper.....it is. Copper and wire nuts are proven materials in construction, pex and Wago's are as well and apparently will take some time to convince everyone.

I’m an electrician. I’ve seen many Wagos fail. They have a tendency to become loose and arc. Not a huge problem with lower voltage, but it will cause big problems in your 120v system.
@dvig3261
@dvig3261 11 месяцев назад
​@@theamazluckily 480 volts is considered low voltage. Because dematic uses them in their machines and I have never seen one go bad. Wire nuts go bad all the time, even 120v.
@dvig3261
@dvig3261 11 месяцев назад
We have wago connectors at my work (a distribution center), being used for 480v all over the place. In the years I've been there, plenty of euro crap has burnt, but never a wago connector. Not sure if that's a fair test...telemechanique...🤮... But it is true.

Where does this WAGO opinion in this country come from? I agree, I wouldn't use them for automotive / RV applications wherever the connector is exposed to the environment/water. I wouldn't use wire nuts for that either which is basically the competition for the lever nuts. For indoor applications they are as good as properly used quality wire nuts while being easier to use for non-professionals. They don't loose tension due to the spring loaded connection which is a big plus in the RV, they are clear and it's easy to see if the wire is seated properly and they have a test point for measurements without opening them. There are cheap knock-offs that suck, the original WAGO lever nut sized for the used wire is awesome and used almost exclusively by electricians all over Europe. No twisting, easy to properly connect and disconnect (and the wire stays straight). I respect your opinion but don't understand the reasoning for the dislike based on my experience. I replaced hundreds of cheap junk nuts with WAGO lever nuts in 120V and 240V circuits and never noticed any performance difference compared to quality nuts. Thanks for your videos.

Speaking of required tools, and you may have covered this, but what multimeter would you recommend for RV diagnostic? I've been looking at Klein's, but too many to pick from. Looking for something basic, as I will have a learning curve. Thanks!

The solder butt connectors that use the heat gun instead of a flame are expensive, but it's a permanent,water tight seal that you can't overheat the plastic.

Hey Nick , love your stuff. Quick question. The sale switch on my furnace keeps acting up. All I have to do is take it out of the motor and blow on it and put it back in and the furnace starts to work again. I’ve had to do this twice now any tips?

You tested after the regulator? Also i dont believe you are supposed to use a laser thermometer on reflective surfaces.
@dustys3320
@dustys3320 Год назад
You are correct, you can not get an accurate measurement from reflective surfaces because the emissivity is too low. What you can do is put a piece of black electrical tape on it and take the measurement from the tape. it has a very high emissivity and will give you a fairly accurate measurement. We use this trick in thermography all the time.

This series should be titled "Tools you need to work on your RV". I'm not doing drop tests or installing PEX while out camping. You don't really differentiate between tools you need IN your RV and tools you need in your garage to work on your RV..
