Tire wrench!

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

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.

I would also get a breaker bar with cheater to use with the extension + socket to break the bolts free w/o damaging the mechanism in the torque wrench.  Useful if it is seized and you need to put some weight or hammer into it.

Oh Lordy, glad I asked.  I have a 500 mile drive coming up this this Thursday. I do have a year of roadside but checking the toque of the wheel lug nuts is an immediate concern.

Some people swear by using a lubricant on the lug threads.  My local mechanic does it.  I don't, I disagree with using it except in extreme cases, partly because it is hard not to get it on the angled mating surface between the bolt and wheel.  Even with a careful wipe-off of those surfaces I feel like I'm over torquing.  I have it on now because my mechanic added it when he put new tires on, it will be interesting to see how the nuts retain their torque on our upcoming long trip.
