Where can you get a hex to fit the outside handles/ cup rack screws etc...seems like it's a 4 sided screw, got nothing like that; looked around the camper for one thinking maybe a tool was included...

    You’re talking about pan head screws holding things down like the 12v outlet in the galley right? It’s a square drive and I think a little bit of an odd size (at least the bit that came with my Kreg Jig set didn’t work with it). That’s a trip to the hardware store. I changed my galley 12v outlet and ended up using an Easyout screw remover to pull it out, replacing with a Phillips-head.

    I know what you mean. I happened to have a bit included in a drive set I got somewhere at some point. I also went to Lowes and bought an extra tool to fit those. The tool I bought looks like a screw driver.

    The screw you are reffering to is called a Robertson, you will need a #2 for most of those found in the T@G. Its a Canadian thing, and you're welcome, they don't strip out like Philips do and without a sharp blade or point you really need to try hard to jab yourself with the screwdriver, not that you will, it doesn't slip out like the others, and it can hold the screw without the aid of a magnetic bit.

    @Frogger search for square driver bit, home depot carries them in the US you will need #2 for most hardware, but there are some #1 used in a few places inside the overhead storage holding the back panels on inside. You should be able to get them for a few bucks, they're not that expensive.

    You may be able to use a 1/8" flathed screw driver in a pinch. Usually works fine. Best to get a set that fits from someplace like Home Depot for <$10.

    I swear if I ever get any Phillips screws in anything I have to install they get thrown out and a #2 Robertson screw is used...as far as I'm concerned they're awesome...says a fellow Canadian.... :)

    Here's an American who also really likes Robertson screws! As to not stabbing yourself with a Robertson screwdriver, maybe I'm just gifted.....
