Extra spare?

[Gr8bawana]

How many of you guys carry a second spare for your trailer or RV?
I haven't gotten a 2nd spare for the 5th wheel yet but I just ordered a wheel for my truck so I can have 2 spares because we do lots of remote camping, fishing hunting and I'd really hate to be way out there and have a second flat on the way out.
Am I just a worry wort?

Always run with 2 spares, and if I change one on a trip I search and call for a replacement on the way. I have spent enough time in the side of the road in the past to know I don't ever want to do it again. One trip in motorhome, put 6 new tires on before trip and every single tire separated tread from inner tire on trip down to Florida. 2 Spares would have helped then, I'll tell you.

I've never run with two spares but learned years ago to not run with old tires. 5 years regardless of tread and they get swapped out. I honestly can't remember the last time I had to change out a flat.

Depending on how far we're going, I always bring 2 spares. My camper only has 1 axle so if I lose one tire I'm on the side of the road. By bringing 2 I have a full second set of tires ready to go. I also agree on the date of the tires going no more than 5 years.

Never even thought of carrying 2 spares. I get WAY off into the boonies here in the Ozarks, and in Colorado. I just don't see enough issues to warrant it personally. We do get flats on our vehicles, but it's almost always when just running around locally. I am careful about checking tires pressures and dates on my tires.

I have two sets of tires always .. so when heading out to sketchy areas we always bring extra everything including multiple ways to jack it up too. Was thinking though to some people where we live is always sketchy so maybe we should have extra always .. lol

Had my truck for over 5 years before getting my first flat, but in the past (with my old 1500) have had a situation where we where stranded due to 3 flats and had to wait a good part of the day before being rescued. So since then we always go prepared.

I definitely notice less flats with my HD and 10-ply tires. My old 1500s would get flats from running over thumbtacks but these E-rated tires take a lot to puncture.
