You are either a guy who expects the worst (flats), or a guy who really enjoys changing tires.:)
Just kidding of course. I haven't had to change a trailer tire on the road in over 20 years, and even then it wasn't an RV. Have not yet had a flat on a camper, so perhaps complacency has led me to feel safe carrying the bare essentials. Yes, I am knocking on wood.
Personally I think all the torque checking some folks do is counterproductive. Like those who have to dig out the torque wrench every morning before setting out. Yes I torque them at installation, and I check them a couple of times during the first trip. Unless something weird catches my attention, there is no good reason to keep clicking them over repeatedly. Way too obsessive/compulsive, and likely to stress the studs over time.
