Coachmen Freedom Express 248 RBS screw inquiry

Fellow campers and explorer's, I have occasionally needed to remove screws to get to a hidden area of our trailer and have used whatever screwdriver that's handy and works. But I would like to fine a set of screwdrivers specifically designed for my trailer. I know they are not straight or Phillips, but are they tork, star, or some other special screws used by the manufacturer?


Confused, Maple City Camper

I have this set and it contains just about every bit you will need. Even has some mini bits and driver which I've found very handy more than a few times.

Are you referring to the square headed bits that Coachman uses? You can get them at any hardware store.

I think they're called Robertson bits. Canada seems to have standardized on the about the time the United States standardized on Phillips. I wish we picked Robertson.

I really dislike Phillips head screws and bolts. I always though Robertson were much better than anything we had in the US - until I started using Torx heads. Torx are even better than Robertson and have become my favorite.
