Yes, I agree but DISAGREE NOW..... and I always thought I would get a Spare "sometime" but in the spring on my first trip with the RV I had a blowout on SUN night returning home. Took 4.5 hours to get roadside to repair it.
I always check my tires and make sure they have the correct pressure before each trip. Only 10K miles on my tires right now. Never expected a blow out.
So I purchased TPMS and a spare tire the first week back home.
I had most of the tools needed put decided to purchase a cordless impact to remove lug nuts and a cheap torque wrench to tighten down to 150 lb #. I even removed a couple one weekend to make sure I had everything I needed. Only too me about 15 to change one but another 15 / 20 to jack it up, block etc to be safe.
So 30 / 40 min I would be rolling again.
