This post is almost carbon copy of what I recently experienced. Now I would add that you should check or have checked,
the mounting of your spare tire. On mine, the turnbuckle was rusted and we had to unmount the spare tire carrier to be
able to drop the tire. I was pulling my side by side on a 12 foot trailer so we threw the damaged tire on there. Once home I
updated the mounting hardware and lubed all necessary parts.
The spare tire carrier got whacked a few times by who knows what and was slightly bent as well.
Just as a reminder regarding the obvious: For those of you who do carry a spare for your RV, make sure you check and maintain proper pressure in it!
