From what I gather over the years, most DPs do not come with a spare. Most likely because they are simply too heavy and take up too much "storage" space. The road service people mainly service trucks (18 wheelers) so I imagine the 22.5" tires are readily available should you need a replacement.
My coach is a 2001 gasser and it does have a spare tire in it's own compartment. A 19.5 incher (NOT readily available from these road service folks) ...so when I DID have a blowout, my Coach-Net came thru and changed the tire for me on the road.
Blow-outs are far and few between....except when it happens to you. And it might....or might not. Keep your air pressure where it should be and enjoy your travels. There are 2 popular RV road service companies: Good Sam and Coach-Net. I've had Coach-Net from day one....needed them 3 times and never had a problem.
