Tire Ply Composition & Materials
Tires are constructed from multiple layers of rubber-coated
fabric. Each of these layers is called a
ply
. In general, the higher
the number of plies in a tire, the more weight it can support.
• Tire manufacturers must report all materials used in the
composition of their tires, (
ie., steel, nylon, polyester, etc.
)
Spare Tire
The spare tire is used if a trailer tire is damaged, flat, or loses
air pressure. The spare tire/wheel may differ from the original
equipment, and is
intended for temporary use ONLY
.
The spare tire is secured below your RV. Locate the 1” access
hole in the skirt metal on the door-side of your RV, approximately
even with the spare tire.

counter-clockwise
to lower the spare tire.
• Turn
clockwise

Tire Changing Basics

hanger. Raise the trailer until the tire clears the ground
NEVER attempt to use a stabilizer jack to lift the RV.

Jack Stand
under the frame just to the rear
of the tire being changed,
then
change your tire.

Spare Tire, Access Hole

Before working underneath
the RV, both the front

supported with jack stands.
Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
