I only have one spare with me, but have only had two flat over eight years of towing. I keep the tires pretty fresh, and try to get good ones. I also try Not to overload it.
The Shop
Tell us about the travel trailer and the Tundra. I love the hell out of my TuRD PRO Tundra, but every week it seems I find one more reason to hate the 5.5 foot bed. So many positives, with the simplicity and lack of foo foo options being a strong selling point for me but just a few things that keep killing it. Since the hurricane and flood last year, finally after 10 months of a dozen plus insurance adjusters assigned to my motorhome claim, it has gone away for good. I'm now in the market for a toy hauler trailer of some sort. Don't want anything huge, but kind of digging the slide out on that somewhat small bumper pull of yours. Give me some details on it.
The trailer is a Fun Finder 214 WSD. Probably 26’ overall length, but travel trailer only, no toy hauler capability. Dual propane tanks, dual batteries. I’d like to do solar at some point, and change to golf cart batteries so I could plug in the laptop and/or phone charger and maybe occasionally use the microwave without having to hook up the generator.
I don’t have any photos of the interior, but one of the things I like about it is that it’s fully functional even when the slide is in. While shopping for this one, I saw a couple models where you couldn’t make your way from the front to the back (and the bathroom) if the slides were in. Or you couldn’t access the fridge. Weird stuff like that.
Boat shop was about 15 miles away, only 1 stop light between it and me. Boat pulled great on the way in, definitely just about the max I would have wanted to pull, and didn’t have to use the brakes for the first 13 miles or so. Finally came to the only stop light and thankfully no one was in front of me. Started slowing early, but not early enough. Just touching the brakes started the trucks ABS into panic mode and the boat pushed me over 100 yards through the intersection. Thankfully a car coming from my right who was going to turn left across me saw what was happening and ignored his green light. Good thing he was smart and alert because after I realized there was no chance to stop, I rolled through the intersection and could hear a couple cars waiting behind him honking their horns at him.
I never pulled that boat with the F150 again, even after I had the brake controller installed.
I'm looking into adding some solar to my boat, so I don't have to run my generator as much as well... From what I've read, it's getting pretty inexpensive and easy to do now, compared to even a few years ago.
Amazing how priorities change as we get...more seasoned...

There is definitely some cheap/junk out there.
Forest River Toy Haulers
If I had unlimited funds I’d go with the Livin Lite Quicksiler toy hauler - no wood anywhere on those..
