We have a 2014 R-Pod 178, and are planning a long road trip starting next week.
Just in case, do the R-Pods have a jack for changing the tire? I can't find one. I did find the wimpy lug wrench, which I doubt would be strong enough to loosen the lugs.

Thanks,
Elenaron

Welcome to the forum. The R Pod doesn't come with a lug wrench. I think what you found was the stabilizing jack wrench. I would check to see if your tow vechicles jack is compatible before carrying two. Also make sure you have a lug wrench that fits. Have fun on your trip.

You might want to invest in a bottle jack found at auto parts stores.  Safe Travels.

You might want to check he height of the bottle jack fully collapsed, might not fit under the axel when you have flat tire. I just bought a 2 ton floor jack in a plastic carrying case from Walmart for 25 bucks works great.

That's my method of operation too.
Kinda hard to push around in dirt/gravel but much more stable.
