My only worry is being afraid to change a dual wheel tire. Time to get insurance for roadside help as we camp mostly in remote regions.
Assuming you have the right tools (an appropriate jack and lug wrench, etc.), changing one of the dually wheels for the spare isn't really any different from changing a front wheel. It's exactly the same process, and the lug nut torques are the same. The jacking point, on the axle under the spring mount, is maybe a tiny bit harder to get access to; but it's not that far buried. Of course, if it's an inner tire that needs changing, you do have to remove the outer to get to the inner, and replace it afterwards.
