Spare Tire Review: weretherussos.com/roadmaster-spare-tire-carrier-review/

We did purchase a spare for our Thor Four Winns Super C motorhome for the same reason, I have it when I need it and do not have to pay premium pricing. I also equipped the RV with a small 150 psi compressor, and some air tools. I check my tire air pressure and fill the tires with air when needed no matter where I am. During a practice tire changing session, I used the automatic RV jack system (this takes most of the weight off the wheels) "power off the system and use a smaller two ton jack under the axle where needed (just enough to get the wheel off the ground) then use my power tools. Good luck and happy RVin. Thanks, Lee

Thank you!

thats just smart thinking. heck even the Earthroamer comes with a huge spare

I had no idea rims were so hard to come by...good advice. I kind of did the same when I bought my '94 Tioga Class C. It had load range Es on the rear and lighter Ds up front. Pretty squirrelly in the wind too. I put Es all around with one for the spare; now that spare can be mounted in any and all positions.

I take that chance since the removal of the spare in my pleasure way class B was replaced by a big bike rack to hold a duplex bike. The tires are a very common size and are the rims. I do carry two types of sealers, tires plugs and a very strong air pump. Clearly if the tire is shredded in an accident the sealer and plugs would be useless. After ten years of camping its worked out well for us.

great info.... Steve

👍 Great idea.

Enjoyed your video on the Rv Roadmaster tire mount video. How do you keep some from stealing it? Is there a place to put a lock?…… Thanks

Almost 13K 👍

When we got our RV, the salesman said how are you gonna get it off or on, and how are you gonna lift it..So I bought a Good Sam Roadside assistance.. That carrier is a neat idea..Would love to carry a spare... Joe Blow

I use things called a jack and a wrench. No problems so far.

I think having a spare is very wise.

Have you shared what the new RV is? I really enjoy your videos. Really like the energy Katie shows, it is wonderful to see people full of life. Happy and safe travels. Joyce

I'm not driving to Alaska without a spare. Matter of fact, I'm going to replace both steer tires and wheels with new tires and wheels. I'll carry both take offs as spares.

Second that one: if you go remote places - and I mean really remote like several hours drive to down remote - you want to have 2 spares, plenty of firewood or an axe and a gun just to make sure :-)

Wow, I just worked on the tire carrier bay on a 1999 Fleetwood Class A and I just assumed all class A's had spares. Also, as you mentioned what if the rim is damaged and I assumed these rims were common because my RV is also Based on a Ford Chassis. Wow was this an eye-opener.

Glad it helped.

Aren't the front and rear rims different? How do you decide which to carry? I've always thought, if I were to carry a spare, I'd just get a bare tire and have roadside assistance put it on. Many of the service trucks can balance it for you.

+wincrasher2007 no all the tires/rims on our RV were the same. We were going to get a bare tire but really had no place to put it...which is why we ended up getting the carrier that required a rim.

absolutely correct to have a spare, never ride without it. getting not only a tire, but having the right truck deliver it is tough. may not have tire and if they do you pay what they charge. some areas may not even have one. 100% spare tire required, I agree fully with you guys. I think the fool is the one who don't have one

Where did you mount the license plate? Mine is right in center.

Joe, will you have a spare tire and rim on your new ClassB? Will you still tow your Jeep behind the Class B?

@Weretherussos

No spare on the B - it was an option but we decided to wait to see how much weight we'll have left after we load up. Our B will only have a 2,000lb tow capacity so no Jeep. Its for sale.

Hello r u there? Just waiting on your next adventure. Will that be in the new RV? Cant wait!

Wow, I'm surprised that a spare tire isn't just standard. It would be worth getting just for peace of mind.

Wait til you see the jack, lol

Hey guys how are y'all doing? Been a couple of weeks since we heard from you. Hopefully you get on the road soon.

Still waiting to take delivery, we're hoping its not too much longer now.

another buying top in a rv, before you buy it, call 2 or even local tire stores,and ask if they have the tire in Stock. easy way to find out what your future tire situation is. I have blown 5 tires I. 5 years, 4 on one trip of 2000 miles, turned out to be bad alignment.

Planning a trip from Florida to Alaska next year and would feel better with a spare. A 22.5 in is too big for me to change anymore but at least it would be available for the roadside assistance instead of them having to hunt one down and waiting days to get it.

Where are you? Is everything OK?

Alright, when is that Hymer going to be ready??

Why would you not carry a spare tire and rim for your RV? There's always the chance the roadside assistance sent to your location will not have the correct size tire and/or rim. Carrying a spare tire and rim for your RV is simply common sense.

13,021...and you're not putting out 4-5 vid per week anymore. Do you have any idea what that means? This is a good video. I can't imagine why anyone would NOT want a spare tire on their rigs-perhaps us baby boomers don't, bec those tires weigh about 80+ lbs (arthritic issues lol)! I know that this isn't dependent on you guys, but please hurry back! #PatreonRocks #TireCarriersRock #GoRVing

Not having a spare tire is the dumbest of all dumb choices.

The real question is why is there a video (and people watching it) "explaining" spare tires. If you don't know, you need your very own caregiver.

If you look through some of the RV forums, there are many people who think carrying a spare is a waste of money and weight. They feel that if they have a problem, they simply need to call roadside assistance and all will be better.

...No spare ..Stay home.
