It is surely over-kill but gives me peace of mind. Our rig being stored indoors won't have rusted-on lug nuts, but the extra long bar might be handy helping someone else with a badly weathered motor home, made worse yet if equipped with alloy wheels.
...you may want to consider a breaker bar. 140 foot-pounds of torque using a two foot breaker bar is seventy pounds of force, well within what most people can exert without undue strain (if only by stepping on the end of the breaker bar).
The extra long breaker bar stores perfectly inside our front dinette bench.
