Sorry for the late response, I was up in S Utah/N Rim area for couple weeks in my rig. I am more in love with this RV than ever. I friggen LOVE this thing, it's perfect for me.

I did think about carrying a spare but decided it wasn't really necessary. The wheels are all interchangeable so in the event of a flat you can just run one tire on a rear until you get to a tire place, that's my thought.
With your 6" lift you'll need some wood blocks to put under the levelers. I suggest getting some cut off a glulam beam. I had originally had some cut from a regular wood beam while I was in San Diego getting the lift installed at Weldtec, but by the time I got to AK last year one of them split so I had some glulam pieces cut in Soldotna on the Kenai peninsula while I was there for a few weeks. I lifted the entire rig more than once on the trip out in the boonies to rotate the tires
As for the motorcycle securing, I added 2 wheel chocks in the garage and some additional tie-down points that were more in the positions I needed them near the front of the garage (to pull the bikes forward). Also made some fuel jug mounts against the front garage wall a couple months ago.
