Tire wrench!

   No, a jack and wrench are not supplied.  Just about every tow vehicle has them, so why carry the weight of another set?  Many of us do though.  And for what it's worth, you need to check the torque on the lug nuts pretty much every trip.  There's a cheap torque wrench at Walmart that is good enough for the purpose.  You still need a 4 to 6 inch extension and a socket.  And another socket for the spare tire.  It usually has a different sized lug nut, just to make life interesting.  Torquing the lug nuts regularly is really a requirement, perhaps more so on a new pod.

	Neither of my pods came with them. We got a torque wrench ( 3/4 in socket) and a small floor jack in case we have flat. If it is new, you should have gotten a free year of roadside assistance, from Forrest River.

	I have a new Rpod. I don't seem to have a tire wrench or a jack. Did the dealer forget something?
