Added a spare tire to the Axis. Since we're about to embark on what should be a month long, 5k+ mile road trip from home in Fl to Nova Scotia and back, decided we didn't want to be without a spare tire. Aside from the aggravation of having a flat, I didn't want what I'm sure would be a very costly situation of having to buy a tire from some roadside service. With a spare, I can limp to a discount warehouse for a new tire, if we have to. Ordered a carrier that mounts in the trailer hitch receiver, $80. Finding a good used wheel proved to be more difficult than I expected. Ones that fit the E450 chassis used by Thor apparently are somewhat scarce. Three local junk yards didn't have one and couldn't locate one for me. But, again eBay saved the day. I found one on eBay for $55. & free shipping. Also, on eBay, found a good used load range E, 10 ply tire with about half the tread left for $65., & free shipping.. Together it all cost about $200. Have RV coverage with AAA, so someone else can put it on, if needed.
