That's really odd. No magic to changing inside duals on an E series, any reasonably strong and fit person with a standard lug wrench and a decent 6 ton bottle jack can do it. It's nothing like changing duals on a diesel pusher or other big rig. I do agree with you 100% on carrying a fully mounted and inflated spare at least on an E series sized rig.
I was told by an AAA dispatcher that their policy was not to change inside duals on vehicles. We had been with AAA over 30 years and for several years have been on their highest (premium) plan. We now have Coach-Net's premium ERS plan - less cost than AAA and far superior benefits (per what's written ... we'll see in real life situations).
Remember that changing a tire on a motorhome's rear dual set can entail lifting and supporting MUCH MORE weight than what's on one rear corner of a 1-ton dually pickup or a passenger vehicle. For example, I'd hate to have to mess with a motorhome's passenger rear corner with some of the soft shoulders on the two-lane highways we travel on!
