Do you carry a spare tire?
Just wondering if you all carry a spare tire or if you rely on roadside assistance programs. On our last motorhome, I payed to have a spare tire carrier made and mounted under the rear. I'm wondering ...

I have seen this comment made a number of times in this thread but, at least in my mind, it misses the point. Having a spare doesn't necessarily mean you plan to change it yourself. What it means is that you have a tire than can be put on if necessary.
Even with roadside service, they aren't going to pull up with a mounted spare to throw on your axle - they are going to be forced to tow your rig to who-knows-where for who-knows-how-long to get a new tire. Having a spare avoids all that by having something that a roadside tech (or a helpful good samaritan) could install if the circumstance called for it.
There are many class A's that I probably wouldn't mess with either - but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have the spare for the big-rig tow guy to slap on when he pulled up.
