Maybe I should just buy an extra tire if the rims are different.
Are tire replacements needed for normal driving?
I drove my last RV across the USA without even knowing or caring about a spare. Am I being over cautious?

The rims are all the same and you can usually find one in a junk yard or buy a new one from Ford. In my 24.1 there is room in front of the hitch. I decided to just buy a tire since I have no way to change one anyway. It is nice to have the tire in case you are somewhere where it is difficult to find one. There’s lots of discussion on this issue in previous posts. Just use the search function. A TPMS is good insurance to provide warning.
