Sep 10, 2018The reason many RVs are not coming with spare tires is because the dealers are ordering them without them to make the price of the unit a bit lower.
When shopping for a small Class C a couple of years ago I noticed this trend. When I looked at some Thor models, the salesman told me motorhomes no longer come with spare tires. I later learned from another salesman that wasn't true, you can get spare tires if the dealers order the units with them.
I ended up purchasing a Winnebago that came with a spare tire in the storage compartment. You can tell Winnebago designed a particular area in the storage compartment to hold the spare. If I'm not mistaken, I was told Winnebago does not give dealers the option to delete the spare tire when ordering the RVs.
BTW, I would never go without a spare unless the RV was a full size diesel pusher.
