Ain't it the truth. As soon as I sell or junk something I need it. Everything in a too full garage, I have no use. But, I'm afraid to part with it.

There's a 20/20 rule that might help you. It says that if you can replace it for $20 within 20 miles or minutes then get rid of it. For most of us that will get rid of lots of little things making it easier to see what's left and what value they have.

I crawled under and around everything on our camper. Found what size, drive, diameter, etc; could be used. Same with pex, pipe traps etc; in addition caulk, tape and bulbs. So had a pretty good idea of what wasn’t needed.
Like a lot of other folks, as a full timer I carry a bunch of tools in my Arctic Fox fifth wheel because I not only keep it repaired myself, I've always got a do-it-yourself project I want to complete, or a do-it-yourself project to fix the last do-it-yourself project I did. All that means mechanic tools, carpentry tools, electric tools, and plumbing tools.
In all the years I've been RVing I've never needed a gun, but there has been a couple of times when I felt a whole lot better knowing it was there.

I have too many tools right now, most in my truck bed. I intend to sizzle it down to a complete socket set for the three sizes and SAE/Metric. I'm thinking about leaving the 3/8 stuff behind. I also have a 15 combo wrench set for both types. Plus some outsized wrenches for the hitch and ball. Also a tool box with misc screw drivers, pliers ect.
Then there is a box with truck stuff. We offroad a lot so I have getting stuck stuff, like ramps for sand, a high lift jack, bottle jacks ect.
Then some power tools, mainly battery powered drills, a small jigsaw. A canvas bag with electrical tools-crimper, stripper, DMM, various pliers ect.
I consider myself handy thus the overload...heh.
If I carried a gun I would not announce it. I have a CWL tho.
