Do you carry a jack? If so what kind.
Have a 30ft Class C on the Ford E450 chassis. It does have a spare tire carried under the coach. While I do have road service available what if I have a flat and don't have cell phone coverage?? ...

I wouldn't want to rely on roadside assistance for a tire change. My sister had two tread separations last year. The first one happened about 20 miles east of Denver, and she was on the side of the road for more than 4 hours waiting for service. And when the first guy came, he didn't have a jack adequate to change the tire.
She had a second tread separation on the next trip. Close to the same location as the first, and again was told it would be a "couple hours" before Good Sam could get someone out to her.
I changed that one myself.
So yes, I would get one of the jacks that is suggested here. And I would also get a large breaker bar for the lugs. I think changing her tire took me about 10 minutes. I had extra motivation due to the "excitement" of changing the tire street side on the interstate with cars and trucks flying by at 75 MPH. Which was still better than waiting hours for someone to help.
