I thought I did give the reasons above for unmounted spare, but I will try it again:

1) Unmounted spare can be mounted on the rim that the flat tire is on.

2) Being that it would be mounted on the correct rim for the position means that it would not have to be dismounted at a later time so that it could be mounted on the correct cosmetic rim saving you $$$$$.

3) 99.9% of RV'ers would call a road service to change the tire becasue of the weight and lug nut torque that most do not have the tools for anyway. It only makes sense that if you carry a spare tire that it be unmounted for the above reasons.

Those are the main reasons that IF I had room to carry a spare, it would be unmounted. But I don't have the room.
