Flat Tires	Scott W. McMikle	4-19-01
Being a newby at Class A RVs I am wondering what you do in the event of a flat tire. Do you attempt to change it yourself or do you belong to one of the many RV/Auto clubs that have towing and flat repair? My RV is used and didn't come with any sort of jack. Your help is appreciated!

For legal liability reasons, most RV manufactures donot supply a jack with the vehicle. I would suggest that you buy yourself a good low-profile 10 ton hydraulic jack and a lug wrench breaker bar. Use road service when possible but have the tools in the RV for those times when road service is not available.

Scott, I like many others have to bite the bullet and pay for some type of RV warranty/Road side assistance. I personally don't recommend trying to jack up the motorhome your self. Check yoour air pressure and condition of your tires before each trip... Good Luck

Some of the companies that have large fleets of cars and trucks change there tires after 5 years. This is hard when tires still have good tread. Seems the rubber breaks from the sun and air.

I know this is a late post but might be of interest. Just got back from two weeks in Maine. Had a great trip (almost) six kids kand three adults in a 35 Itasca Suncruser. Hit a piece of metal on sholder agout 15 miles north of Harrison, PA. Blew outsuide right rear. Got to rest area and called Progressive (our insurance) A rep from a tire company was on the scean within 20 minutes. Got the truck out and changed the tire, replaced the spare and we were on our way in about 90 minutes. I have a 30 ton jack, 20 ton jack stands and a big lug wrench and necessary tools to do the job. I would hate to try this with a bunch of kids on board. Road side assistance is the way to go. Mac
