The ability to tow an Airstream without a tire mounted on one of the dual
(or triple) axles as the result of a flat or blow out is likely unique to
Airstreams.

This is because each wheel on an Airstream is independently suspended (and
not connected to an adjacent wheel).  The Airstream uses an independent
rubber mounted torsion bar suspension system.  SOBs, which use
interconnected leaf springs do not provide this capability.
