Just curious, Has any one ever heard of a new trailer being sold without a spare tire??? I can see it might be possible if you buy a used trailer, but wouldn't the original owner have had a spare tire? Does anyone drive a trailer without a spare ??? I don't have any experience with RV's other than TT and 5th. wheels.
All of the older, used, TT I've owned never came with a spare. Nor, was there a place to mount one. (Back in the day they didn't worry about spares.) I never had a spare until 2 years ago when I took my first long trip (100 miles) from home. Then I bought a used rim and a old bald tire and threw it into the back of my pickup. If I stay local I don't carry the spare.
I'm in a rural area. If I have a flat 50 miles from home I would limp to the nearest farm place and then call someone to bring me the spare. I would need them t bring me a jack and a socket set with breaker bar and a piece of pipe too. It would ruin everybody's day but, if you are a local camper like me it doesn't happen very often.
