That is the tool that attaches the spring to the furnace exhaust and inlet ports on the outside of the rig to secure the mesh covers to keep wasps out.

Hammster is correct. I still have mine. It comes when you buy those little screens to cover your furnace/hot water tank exhaust. It's need to attach the little spring to the screen.

BTW, I keep knocking mine off. We park right next to our chain link fence, I keep knocking it off when I go back to plug-in/unplug the rig. Anyone have a more secure fix?

yep, that was it!!!! can't believe I couldn't remember that one! Guess I'm running up against my limit of useless information rattling around up there in my head.....
And you are correct, it does look like a schraeder valve tool but as others pointed out it's not hollow so it wouldn't work for that.

Could you use a Schrader tool for the same purpose? Only carry one tool for two jobs..

If the diameter is correct, it should still work on Schrader valves. The center pin is spring loaded and would easily push in enough to get a bite on the valve shoulders. The correct tool would be a better choice of course...
