Yikes...Buy your own, I did! Mine didn't come with a spare. I bought a matching wheel for 35 bucks and a tire from Les Schwab for 100 bucks. Its not mounted because I have a bike rack attached to my bumber. I just throw the spare in the bed of my truck.
I've bought one TT and three 5th wheel rv trailers and a host of bumper and GN flatbed trailers up to 22k GVWR and always bought my own spares. No big deal.
Just about all of my trailers spares are used P or LT tires depending on the trailers axle load requirements.
My 5er in sig has 16" wheels/tires but I still use the OEM 15" wheel/used tire as a spare which has never been on the ground.
The 600 dollar number is simply economics 101 business greed or else the 600 dollar number package wasn't spelled out correct.
