You talking tools or creature comforts? I can give 3 random things that I absolutely love, errrr, 4.
1. A hotspot or mobile data source so you can stream entertainment on whatever device you want (bigger than a phone)
2. A $100 Amazon or similar memory foam mattress
3. A 12v fridge (real fridge, I have a Truckfridge)
4. A toaster oven. A lot of us have a microwave and that's nice. Toaster oven for me added a lot of food options.
As for stuff you NEED like tools it would take me forever to write all that down.77fib77, Keepforgettingmypassword, tscottme and 3 others Thank this. -
