First, I searched the forum and had no luck.

Are the bolts and nuts metric or standard?  I should be picking up my T@B Outback up soon and want to have the correct tools for the trip home.  I am only concerned about structural components that may cause a road trip to come to a hault.  TV is metric, so that is what I commonly carry.  I carry a star lug nut wrench so the tire is covered in case of a flat.

    On the body of the T@b they are mostly square headed. I will check the frame, but IIRC, they are standard.

    Source3, while I have a Silver Shadow and not a T@B, both are made in the same factory in Ohio, and the trailers are locally made in Ohio also.  I carry both metric and standard wrenches and sockets, and I have used the standard ones on the few bolts I've had to "mess" with.

    Thanks.  I figured that I would have to start carrying standard sockets.

    Source3,
    If your still interested, we have an Outback too and all of the bolts are standard.
