Wow, lots of quick replies!
I have always been a "do-it-myselfer". I would go crazy sitting there and not getting to work on a simple problem like that. Of course I change all of our truck and trailer tires here, but even on our dually the largest is only a 16" - and I realize that the coaches we are looking at have 19.5" rims.
Heck, I even have a manual tire changer and static balancer (bubble type) in my shop. I routinely change out tires on the old Jeep and all of our trailers here around the ranch when needed.
I was thinking that I could carry the spare 3/4" ratchet and socket set, along with the 20 ton hydraulic jack for a job like that. I would even be tempted to take along one of my better impact wrenches if I had a diesel with a solid air source!
So, since I'm looking at gassers, I should find one mounted underneath somewhere? I will have to pay better attention. The few I've crawled under I was focused on tire date codes, shocks, and general frame/chassis condition.
