When hitting the road for any lengthy trip, there’s always so much packing. Packing clothing, personal items, entertainment items, dog food, food and drinks and on and on.
However, when planning to travel in our DIY Custom Camper which includes a 2004 Ford F350 6.0L Diesel, Steve’s priority packing starts with the gear.
Recovery gear is essential to get ourselves out of a vehicle emergency. Truck tools, tire kits, and electrical tools and much more all get loaded into the vehicles. Since we tow the jeep, there is a custom box behind the back seat exclusively for about 75% of the gear we need.

The inspiration for doing this video review of our gear and asking for input was knowing we’ve been struggling for 3 months with several rig issues including:
- Got stuck badly in mud requiring a wrecker to get us out
- Turbo Hose coming loose many times
- Mini Split in the camper losing refrigerant
- Jeep AC needed refrigerant
- Slow leak in a tire
Let us know by commenting on this post or the video, if you have additional input on gear you carry or have suggestions for additional gear we should consider adding!

That’s a lot of gear, Cheryl! We never saw your jeep, so of course, it has space for every contingency according to this picture. I’m sure you are off on your latest trip and hope all is well.

It seems like a lot but worth it to carry in both time and money as Steve can fix most anything if the tools are available. Makes my life easy!
