I asked my "tech" what would be wise to have with me on my trip to Cuba. I'm not a gearhead so I wouldn't know where to begin with reference to fixing a problem. I let him know this.

He said that with respect to the RT-S, he would suggest that I get a spare relay for the fan. He mentioned that the fan had needed new relays more than anything else. He also said that some kind of kit dealing with a flat would be wise as well.

I realize there are a zillion other things that would be prudent to have with you. All of those have been addressed in other threads.

However, I thought it interesting about the fan relay and decided to pass it on.

We carry spare relays as well. Don't really worry about flat tires, we use Ride-On. Check the home page, they are a sponsor of this site. Go to their website and do some investigating, I am sure you will be impressed. It isn't that expensive for some peace of mind.

Usually just take the Husky tool kit, a small tin with zip-ties, fuses and a channel lock.

For long trips with the trailer, everything fits in a 1.5' x 1' box. The only bulky item is the hammer.

Tools are like rain gear. Bring 'em and you won't need them. :)

My dealer had to replace my headlight relay on my RT this week. Only the headlights were out. No faults showed on dash. If a car hadn't flashed I wouldn't have noticed till I was quite a ways from home. Made it home but could just barely see the road. :bowdown:
