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.
Not many Class A RV's have a spare. If you want to carry one I would suggest that you simply carry the tire and call the road service to mount that tire on the rim that's still on your RV. Most of us simply don't carry a spare. One way or another it just seems to work out with the folks who show up to help (and the road service we paid for).
