Couple of recommendations of tools to try that work well for me Pistol grip automatic wire stripper. HF has Pittsburgh ones. Get 2. They last 3-6 months. Lifetime warranty. They don’t work well on some brake wires but overall they are a game changer for 12 volt wiring. I’ve used many crimping tools and the best tool I’ve found is the Knipex pliers wrench. The HF ones are ok but Knipex open just enough that you don’t have to adjust the pliers for the blue connectors. But the little pink ones that were the most common crimp fail the pliers wrench are fantastic And pliers wrenches are awesome wrenches The M12 pin nailer. You will wonder how you ever did trim before. Dewalt has one too M12 rivet tool. If you have ever done a schwintek slide riveted in you know you want one. You start to think. Oh plus rivets will be so much better and easier. Rear ladders. Awning arms. Roof attachments. Anything that was put on with nothing behind or what was there has rotted or wallowed out. It will change your mind set about rivets. Houdini lock lube. Best spray lube ever
All of this content is great. Wow, that is a lot of stuff. Overwhelming almost. But I have to remember, I don't want to take on as much variety as you are willing to do. As always, I wish you a ton of great, continued success.
Yes the more diverse you are the more supplies that are needed. I love tackling a variety of jobs so I have to accommodate that with a variety of tools and supplies.
Wow! This is absolutely fantastic, thank you SO much for this in depth tour. I go to NRVTA in September for my Inspection cert and then in the spring for tech school. This was an amazing tutorial! Forge on, good man!
I'm glad you found it useful! It was a highly requested video and people wanted to see what was in each tote. Wow, it was a lot of work to put together to make it flow smoothly. Enjoy your time at the NRVTA!

Great tool recommendations.
I’ll have to check out the nailer and rivet gun.
