Do all Southwind 32V's have spare tires? I had an 03 that had 19.5 tires and it had a spare, just wondering if when they went to 22.5 tires if they still had a spare? Thanks

My 08 Bounder did not. I carry an unmounted 22.5" tire.

Here's my take. May not be fully correct. From learning when buying my 2002 PA.

Ford chassis with 19.5" optionally have a spare. Because there is enough room between the rear frame rails to accommodate one. The decide to include was up to the manufacturer.

Ford with 22.5" do not have spare because not enough room between the rear chassis rails to accommodate one.

Workhorse chassis did not provide for a spare.

YMMV

Hmm! Pretty strong incorrect statement! My 2005 Bounder 32W Workhorse with 19.5" tires has a spare! Thanks.

My 2003 Pace Arrow 36B with 22.5" tires, (Workhorse Chassis) does NOT have a spare.

Thanks for the correction - I was speaking, to my thinking, Workhorse with 22.5 tires not including a spare bore out from research of 2002/2003 PA.

Again, YMMV.

My 2004 Southwind 32v definitely has a spare but they do not recommend changing it yourself.

the reason I got from a dealership was that the 19.5 wheels are light enough and that you can break the lug nuts loose yourself as with 22.5 wheels are very heavy and the lug nut torque is 450Lbs so you are not going to break them loose by hand. sounds good to me but what do I know?
