See our How To Replace a Flat Tyre info page for all details, from a step-by-step guide to videos showing you how to do it.

Safety tips before you change the tyre

  • No one should be in your Spaceship when replacing a tyre.

  • Make sure that you and your fellow traveller(s) are out of the way of traffic.

  • Apply the hand/footbrake and put the vehicle in 'park'.

  • Loosen the wheel nuts first, but don't remove them! Tip: righty tighty, lefty loosey

  • Then place the jack underneath the vehicle, at the jacking point.

See the How To Use Your Spaceships Videos for info about replacing a tyre on your specific Spaceships campervan category.
