Tho I've never had a flat on our RVs over the many years, the '00 Ford/Four Winds had a spare. I ensured it was properly inflated when I'd do tire checks.
As the E450 lugs should be torqued to 145 ft/lbs, I carried an inexpensive torque wrench, extensions and a deep well socket. Though you are _not supposed_ to use a torque wrench for general ratchet work, this was the only application for this wrench.
I also carry a 12 ton bottle jack, a small compressor & a tire plug kit if I get a nail or screw - anything that can be repaired, I'll do it on the road and be on our way.
The new '16 Chevy/Sunseeker does not have a spare. I've fretted over this issue, yet haven't done anything about it. We have a trip coming up to Glacier & Wyoming this summer, so I should get a spare & build a storage rack for it.
As the unit is 24' long, there's little available storage space, so the only logical locations are the hitch mount (easiest) or build a storage rack behind the fuel tank.
