Apparently Coach Net is the only one that claims to provide that kind of service....because GS and AAA certainly DO NOT. Their only options are install a mounted spare or tow.

That is why many RV owners carry an unmounted spare. The only thing a service truck is needed is to carry the air compressor to add air after the tire has been changed.
