Sadly I used to have three sets of tools😱
Set 1 was at work and was the best I could afford.
Set 2 was on the boat and was good quality.
Set 3 was in the house and was all the rejects from 1 and 2.
Now down to one and a half sets.
Set 1 is now in the house
The caravan set is just a set of screwdrivers and a socket set plus my Victorinox Multi tool

I have a mate that deserves a degree in the operation and handling of any hammer.he has an amazing ability to render anything that can be restored to useless scrap with one one skillful and strategic hefty blow
 
I also had the thought this morning in the last 20 years of owning a car I've never needed a tool to fix anything.

I'm hoping the same applies for the van however I will take a few just in case
 
To be fair we have decided we will only do hard standing and well resourced sites. So genuinely what's the worst that could happen?

Anything remotely serious or detrimental to us being in the van we just got home
Thats an almost impossible question to answer as its very much owner and location dependent.

It can be like a Pandoras box, a couple of loose screws on a door, you tighted up three and strip the last one, get the wooden toothpicks out the fill the stripped hole, then you start checking doors, Oh the light in the wardrobe isn't coming on, change the bulb, notice the aerial wires are slack to the amplifier, Then the wardrobe door doesn't work. Fixing that the bar across the wardrobe is loose.

It goes on, only stopping when SWMBO, say sit down will you, and stop faffing about,
 
Wise decision! But which few?
So true, also to what extent will you repair. I carry sockets up to 14 mm, spanners upto 22mm allen keys and torque drives up to 14 mm. Single Adjustable wrench , metric one side, Imperial re other, and a single left/right handed screwdriver. Multi meter( with new battery's) spare fuses, soldering iron, and solder, ( made that mistake one, NO solder) and a torque wrench.
String and Nylon cord. Duct tape, Alloy tape.
Car now probably over weight.
