I tend to agree its likely I would not ever need it, but I do want a spare for peace of mind. This is our second Class A MH. Had one for about 10 years a decade or so ago. I had bad experiences with tires on that one having had one blow out and one wall failure (They were Michelins and brand new).Luckily that rig carried a spare. The new Itasca we got several months ago came without a spare and having run up the Alaska Hiway last year I just would not feel comfortable without having a spare. A used rim is to arrive today, then I'll add the tire and be all set!
I know of 2 motorhomes who blew tires on the highway coming up. One of them had 2 flats. Some of those roads are in pretty bad shape - especially in the spring.
The tires had to be brought up from anchorage for one of them (don't know why) and the delivery cost was half the cost of the tire. Probably because they could charge that much - not becausue it did cost that much. It was a 2 day wait for those tires.
