Spare tire

Just bought a 2006 coachmen 34ft epic. During my weekly checks I looked for the spare tire. Guess what there isn't one. The dealer told us that sometimes they receive MH with no spare. Does everyone have a spare tire? or am I being over cautious? Also were is the best place to buy a spare? New / Used??

  • Some people never travel far from a large city where all size tires are readily available. Others, like us, like to travel out in the less visited areas of the country where we have been 100+ miles away from the nearest gas station. For that reason, we carry an unmounted spare tire with us(the best tire left from the last tire change). CoachNet will come to us to change the tire and if we have one with us we can then drive to a tire store of our choice and buy a tire that matches what we have. This way we do not get stuck with an expensive replacement tire that may not be the same brand or diameter as our other tires.
  • Search this Forum for `spare tire' in the Class A section and read what has already been posted.
  • Tire size is 22.5 but I do have roadside service if that helps?
  • What size tire? When I had a coach with 19.5 tires I carried a spare in a compartment. Now that I have a different coach with 22.5 tires I have no place to carry a spare even not mounted.
