We thought we had checked this motorhome thoroughly, but didn't notice there's no spare tire, and no apparent place to put one. It's a done deal now, but can anyone tell us are we having a bad dream or does this rig not come with a tire and a place to put it? I have a call in to a dealer, but haven't heard back, and don't know if anyone there will be able to tell me, and I'm betting someone here will. Thank you very much.

Most Class A motorhomes Gas and Diesel dropped the spare tire years ago. They are usually too heavy for the average person to manhandle regardless of where they attempt to mount it. Class-C models, some still offer the Spare Tire. What most people do is, they buy just the rubber tire and store it inside a storage bay and IF they have a Flat that requires new rubber, they have the tire service mount that new rubber on the rim. If the tire is not damaged they fix the old flat tire. Doug

I guess I put too many words in when I searched before posting, because I couldn't find any responses. I now see lots of people have talked about this, and I understand there just isn't one there. I also see the pros and cons, so thought I'd back out of this question and not bother the forum members with it. I don't know how to delete my previous post, if there's a way to do that. Sorry.

Sorry.Nope. no way. Should be but isn't. So no worries

We have no spare tire on our MH. We had a rear hub bearing go bad about 1500 miles from home and I decided to fix it myself. The 22.5 tires are heavier then they were 10 years ago. I worked on construction equipment for 40 years but I would never change a tire that size on the side of the road.You don't need a spare but I know a few people that carry one in there toad.

What size is your tires, most motorhomes with 19.5 comes with spare, the 22.5 and larger usually don't.I carry a full mounted 19.5 tire/rim in my rear compartment, never have to wait for road service to fix a flat.

No spare tire holder on our 2011 Coachmen Mirada 29ds. What?
