Thanks to all the advice that you people gave me. Some of you people really had some tales to tell! I have been RVing for over 40 years and never had to call a tow truck. I always change my flat tires myself. I guess I was just lucky not to ever need a tow.
Wished it had been just a "tale":R.....Been towing "regularly" since 1975, and some before that....through the mountains of WV, TN, NC, SC and Va and several other states, winter, spring summer, fall...my incident was the FIRST time I EVER needed assistance in the form of a "tow", to help get my 5er out of a bad spot...so I've just needed it ONE time...not bad, and it was taken care of...I've had ONE flat tire since I've been towing, and called my ERS service, believe at that time, it was GS, someone came and put the spare on for me and I was able to help with the granddaughters and our two boxers with the wife...while someone else took care of the flat only 1 flat in all the years I've been towing. .So, not too bad either with quite a bit of towing in the last 38 years , plus from 68 to 71, that gives me a little over 40 years also, with 1 flat and the need for assistance to get my 5er out of a real predicament, think we've done well also:)
