I did carry a spare tire in case I damaged one beyond repair. That fit in my rear storage area. I figured that if a repair guy could lift my Vegas, then he probably could change the spare tire onto the rim. Luckily I never had to test this theory.

Back more than ten years ago we had a blowout on our 38.5 foot Holiday Rambler Endeavor. Even though we were close to Boston and had lots of difficulty getting a replacement tire. We ended up with a well used tire and a $300 dollar charge for it and mounting. After replacing all of the tires and buying a spare wheel and tire, I carried the necessary tools and a 20 ton bottle jack in case I couldn't lift the RV with the levelers. I never had to use the spare until I replaced a worn front tire several years later.
There is a lot of security knowing that we had a spare wheel on that RV.
