I have NO intention of changing out the tire but helps to have one on board but do understand the weight and size are unreasonable to carry around. Hope for NO flat tires!!!
I wouldn't go without. Even though we have Good Sam and AAA Premier with RV coverage, I have no intention of sitting around while road service looks for a suitable tire replacement. Then there's the time spent dismounting and mounting.
Our RV is also used extensively in remote off road sites where most road service won't tread so I have a substantial compressor, impact wrench, sockets and breaker bar should I need to do it myself (with a little help from my friends).
After our spare was stolen from the under-frame mount a few years ago, I went with one of these and I love it. No crawling underneath to drop the spare down.
