Complete tool set for RV

It's time to put a dedicated set of tools on my 5er. Space is not a big issue. I have been looking through all the all in one sets but nothing seems to have what I want. I did a search and all I get is a bunch of threads on tools to take with you. Before I visit Sears and build my own set, has anyone found a good all in one set in a toolbox? Don't care for the plastic case kind because all the tools fall out when you open it up.

If I build my own, I was thinking of going with the Craftsman Versastack for the box and then just fill my cart up with what I want. That could get expensive, though.

I've tried several hard tool boxes and found what works best for me is an open soft sided tool bag with lots of pockets and loops similar to this one: https://www.harborfreight.com/19-in-...ets-61470.html
Lets me see and find what I need fairly easily and is easy to carry around.
I also have one (very similar tools/parts in fact) that I keep in my garage so I can grab it and head to fix most any problem at a relative or friends house. This happens WAY too often
I do keep one of those all in one mechanics tool kits in a carry case in the truck for emergency repairs away from home. JEGS has some really good ones in cases where the tools don't fall out when you open them I just bought 4 of them and jumper cables for the kids/grandkids cars. They aren't the highest quality tools, but good enough for emergency repairs.
But I do agree, I haven't found any all in one kit that has everything you need for overall maintenance of an RV. So I built my own over the last 40 years

I found a pretty good DeWalt set that covers sockets, wrenches and drivers.



I'll get a plastic toolbox and add the other stuff I like to have with me.
