Many modern RV's have 22.5" Tires, this size they do not normally provide a spare.. Everywhere I have been the state police have a data base of places to call who can usually get you a tire, on the side of the road, mount, balance and inflate, within an hour or two. (one of the things I did when I worked for the state was maintain one of those listings).
a 22.5 Fully mounted is .. Well, for me it's a maximum load. anything heavier and I'd now wish to lift it.. In fact I would rather not lift it as it is but if it's flat I don't want you helping cause one of us WILL get hurt.
This is part of the reason they do not provide them.. oh, I'm 6'3" by 330 pounds last time I wrangled a 22.5 (lighter now).
19.5" rigs often come with a spare.
Another consideration is that the absolute worst thing for a tire is sitting (or hanging) around and not running down the highway.
Put it on the road and roll on down the highway and the rubber flexes bringing essential protective oils to the surface. This improves tire life.
