NO......you take a chance of throwing the tire and damaging your RV, which usually includes fiberglass damage, plumbing damage and wiring damage. You'll also destroy the rim, possibly catch fire and even injure another motorist if the tire comes off.

Options.....

- If it will hold air for short distances, overinflate and drive it to a LOCAL repair shop.

- Have a mobile tire repair respond.

- Fill it with the tire goop, repair in a can, and see if it seals enough to drive it.

- Often, if you have a local tire store, stop in and ask if they'll send a guy out and remove it and take it to the shop.

- Run the duals up on blocks, getting the tag axle higher and get a friend to remove the rim with a botte jack.

I agree except for adding Goop to the tire as many shops do not like to work on tires with Goop in them.
