if your young enough big enough

i'm 5'7" and 124# and almost 70
an't no way i can change one of my 22.5 tires, with out injury

i can use an impact wrench, and i have changed a lot of tires in my life time
but these are too big too heavy for me to unload and reload on the rv, even flat

i'll call road service, IF and when i get a flat

strange but true
this is my 4th class A, the only one with out a spare
and the only one, i've never had a bad tire on
I did have too replace a wheel 'twice'
once three years ago, one developed a crack between center and rim
and this year one developed a rust leak and was losing air
but never had to have a tire changed on the road
with This DP

I have a good impact wrench, after all it has air on board. I need a good jack.I'll just store the spare in one compartment, it not like I have to lift it.

U need a 3/4 inch impact wrench on 22.5 wheels and 450 lbs torque
the air brake system in a diesel pusher will never(not) support such tools end of story m
