Spare Tire
Hello! Rookie RVer :C here......asking for feedback regarding carrying a spare tire in a 30ft Class A. I don’t ever image trying to change a spare by myself in an emergency, and my hope is the roa...

30 years RVing, 3 different MHs...have had 3 blowouts (last one at least 15 years ago). Would never consider traveling without a spare and the tools to change it.
Currently have a Class A, 19.5" tires torqued to 450 ft/lbs!!! Carry a spare, lug wrench, 4' breaker bar. Can raise any corner with my leveling jacks if needed.
I look at it this way; I don't WANT to change a tire, but I may not have a choice. I travel and camp in remote locations, sometimes have no cell service, sometimes a considerable distance from paved roads. RSS may not be able to be reached (cell service), or they may not want to go where I am (off-road), or they may simply not have a tire that is priced reasonably. I refuse to be at the mercy of any of that. YMMV.
