Our spare was probably original to the RV, under a cover and looked brand new but we replaced it with a used tire that matched the set we have on it.
Have fun with that RV and use the advice here with a bit of salt. Just because something can happen doesn't mean that it will. On the other hand, be forewarned, almost every awful thing has happened to somebody and it could happen to you! :-)
