don't use a drill.
go get yourself a Ryobi one plus impact driver far more manly for the job. similar to the one they use when you change your tyres.
they have a 1/2 inch square drive so sockets fit more securely than a drill and its a much more robust solution, drills can be quite flimsy with big sockets and long extension bars, their chucks don't always last on high torque loads.
Battery will last longer too.
And when you get a flat tyre you can whip the wheel nuts off real quick and easy...
not forgetting the torque wrench though.

Having been a caravaner for 37 years, and having been paid, during part of that time as a caravan photojournalist, I've come across a few howlers in my time.
Before the days of the internet as we know it, the club magazine published several pages of reader's letters. And what a mixed bag they were. I frequently commented, that if you'd never had a letter published anywhere before, then the CC Mag would rectify the matter in double quick time. But what ignorance of scientific and engineering principles they displayed. What entrenched beliefs they exposed. I have some favourite members on this site, who can be guaranteed to have the knowledge and experience that serious comments deserve. And such souls are a useful resource for us all to learn from. There are other names who can be guaranteed to serially expose their lack of understanding in writing.
There's a bit of a catch 22 operating, when the ignorant are too ignorant to recognise their own deficiencies. But that's true for many aspects of life. So we just plod on, confident that our airline pilots and surgeons are well trained, when a sizeable numbejr of people rely on their uninformed intuition. Mind you there are a few heads of state, globally, who know little better.
Pippa, I've never done meringues in the van, but I have done soups. I need to widen my horizens 🤗

Never let us down and no worries about batteries.
I find that I can spare the extra 30 seconds spent using it.
