Do you carry a jack? If so what kind.
Have a 30ft Class C on the Ford E450 chassis. It does have a spare tire carried under the coach. While I do have road service available what if I have a flat and don't have cell phone coverage?? ...

Ford rims are hubcentric, i have to use a big gear puller to get the outside dual off. (anti seize is your friend) the fronts are no problem.
A few years ago when I wanted to replace the rear brake pads I discovered that no amount of prying or hammering would get the rims off the rear hub. As shown in the picture below, the rims are a tight fit to the hub so that they are centered. They had rusted together. The only way I could break them loose was to put the lug nuts back on finger tight, drop off the jack, let the RV roll forward a bit, then sharply apply the brakes. The lug holes are oversize for the lug bolts, so the rims could move slightly to break free from the rust.
After the brake job I put some caliper grease (I didn't have any anti-seize) on the hub in the hope that the rims won't get stuck again.
