Spare tire access

I did not find those.
In theTCU thread, 'on the road' section half way down, are a few links to what others have done. Even if you don't plan on changing your own tire-knowing what might be required to get it down and making allowances could save some grief. I'd need to lift our camper pretty high to access so rotated the hoist.
Other than I simply hate using factory screw bottle jacks, I carry hyd jack that lives in camper with stated capacity weight its capable of.
Larger base under jack for soft ground handy, I use couple of our 2x6 leveling blocks. At 150-165# also find the factory tire iron inadequate. Both to break loose and guesstimate tightening. Though I do carry a torque wrench I use a breaking bar with short extension & socket. Leverage makes it easier.
