My philosophy about not having a spare on board is like getting dressed and not putting on pants. Might be ok around the house but anywhere else, not so good.
I have a spare on mine and if I could not physically change it, still would be cheaper than having a road service to a tire change off and on a rim in the boonies. A mounted spare makes life easier and much less expensive because, it's not if you get a flat, it's when you get a flat.
Happens to everyone sometime and the difference between being prepared and caught with no pants on can be appreciable, money wise.
Ponder that.
Good one, Mr. Sidecar, Your post gives me something else besides my zipper, military alignment and whether or not my belt is on backwards to think about every time I put my pants on from now on. Now I will be thinking about my spare tire.
Seriously, it is a very good idea to travel with a spare already mounted tire and wheel. Great idea to be prepared whether driving an RV, camper, 5er, boat, auto, or utility trailer. Cheaper in the long run and the preparation comes with peace of mind.
