I carry a kit, perhaps not the kit you refer to, but have not had to use it, so can’t give an opinion on how effective it is.

Yes, I carry a tire repair kit. I’ve yet to have to use it but if I had to, I’d mount the spare and repair the flat when I get to camp, off the trail and when it’s cooler/shade. Others will have different routines.

I also carry a tire repair kit -- which is not the one dennis referred to, but I have put together pretty much all the same pieces. Never had to use it, but it is a comfort knowing it is in the truck, along with a good air compressor, if needed.

I use the Ultimate Puncture Repair Kit from Extreme Outback, which includes not only plugs but an exhaustive assortment of patches, spare valve cores, valve stems, a valve core tool.  Tools are all metal.  And if you have plugged in an E rated tire you know how hard you may need to push so metal can be important.  I have not used it a lot, but is a really good kit.  Have only needed to use it once, but important to have where I sometimes go.

We carry the kit from ARB and have used it successfully. It’s best to consider it a temporary repair and latter plug from the inside. That said, we did drive cross country on a repair last fall. A kit is well worth having in my opinion.

I carry a kit, never used it yet on the truck/camper but I have repaired many a bicycle flat and a few flats on other vehicles at home with it. Find a good high volume compressor to go with it.

Jonathan Hanson offered this very good writeup/review on his web site.

I ordered some slims.

I have a kit from Safety Seal. I highly recommend a little practice. I had a nail puncture in my truck at home. I was going go over to the tire store and have them do it for free but I decided I may as well practice with my kit. Glad I did as it was not as easy as I expected. You can really feel the steel belts as the tool goes in. It worked well and I consider the repair permanent but I ruined two plugs before I figured out how to do it. Glad I didn't have the learning curve in the middle of nowhere.
