Years ago, a then-friend liked our TM so much that he bought one for himself. He wasn't RV-savvy, so as a "welcome aboard" gift, I packaged up a goody pack for him. Some of the items may no longer be appropriate, such as 30-amp glass fuses. Others may be of no interest you, so pick and choose at your whim. The Goody Pack contained:
----------------------------------------------
"EMERGENCY GOODY PACK

# 194 lamps - clearance lights
# 912 lamps - "porch" lights
#1141 lamps - interior light fixtures
#1156 lamps - tail lights
#1157 lamps - brake/turn-signal lights

7.5 amp glass fuses - spares for the fuse in the back housing of the toilet (no other use)
30-amp glass fuses - spares for the main battery fuse (no other use)
7.5 amp blade fuses - spares for the DC distribution panel in the converter
15-amp blade fuses - spares for the DC distribution panel in the converter

Small cable ties - for holding small things together
Medium cable ties - for holding medium things together
Hose clamps - for holding hoses together
Wire nuts - for holding wires together
Oil - for oiling things, especially the spring bar stubs each time you hook up
Grease - for greasing things, especially the hitch ball each time you hook up
Dry lube with teflon – for lubing things that will be exposed to dirt and grit. Specifically, the screws in the stabilizers jacks.
Allen wrench - actually, it's a stabilizer jack crank. Just add an 18-volt cordless drill
Butane lighter - for lighting up that relaxing cigar while you refuel your generator
Small screwdriver set with interchangeable bits. The TM is assembled with square-drive screws. You can't change a tire (for example) without these.
Digital multitester - in case you want to test your multiple digits.
. As you know, when a gizmo breaks, it is handy to have a spare gizmo at hand. As you also know, if you have a spare gizmo at hand, your gizmo will never break. Therefore this goody pack is really designed to prevent unneeded breakages and failures. It has worked well for me!"
