Thanks but no place to put a spare, other than bolting one on to the back of the rig. Its too new and nice to do that.

I "think" the wheels are torqued to something like 250 ft-lbs. Those aren't going to come off with a regular lug wrench. I check TP every time I take it out (80 psi). Friends tell me to swap out the tires every five years, regardless of miles. I've had it not quite two years. When I got it I put in real, semi-truck rear inner tire valve extensions, not the cheap flex ones that leak that they sell at Camping World. I couldn't believe Coachmen put in dual rears with no real way to check the inner rear tire TP. It runs a Goodyear 245R/70/19.5 shoe, so a light weight truck tire compared to the BIG RV's.
