I was thinking about the same thing. "Would you WANT what would be included in the camper for changing a tire." Minimal/marginal jack, with a lug wrench to match.
Me, I got a 3-ton floor jack, 6-ton jack stand, and 1" plywood bases to fit each, in case of a soft underbase, along with a long-arm 4-way.
Yep, it takes some real estate, and is heavy, but I got what I need.

I carry a 20T bottle jack which is overkill for anything I need to lift but bought it for it’s longer lift range. After I bought it I purchased an Anderson Rapid Jack. I discovered the ARJ did not have enough range to get a tire free of the ground due to the MorRyde Equalizer. I discovered a layer of 2x4 cribbing added enough extra lift to get a tire from the ground.

Lug Wrench??

No lug wrench, jack or spare tire came standard with our Class "C". I had the dealer make the spare tire (and wheel) be part of the purchase deal.
Upon receipt they handed me the spare so I had to order and install a spare tire carrier like the one on my Ford pickup truck. I also carry a bottle jack and breaker bar and socket to make the change (if necessary).

Go buy a 1/2" breaker bar and socket.

Didn’t even get one with our class c greyhawk. Never got one with any trailer from four different mugs. You buy your own or call AAA😀😀

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.
Excellence I can reach for. Perfection is God's business.

That’s kind of hard to do if you’ve never owned a camper or RV and you don’t know what you need.
That’s why forums like this exist, so knowledge and “lessons’ learned” can be passed on.

In each of my vehicles, I carry an 18" breaker bar, with sockets (3) that fit each of my vehicles and trailers. I find it much easier to use and to store than the big 4 way bars

As for a jack, I recommend one that in theory can lift the whole trailer. It will make pumping it up a lot easier when reaching behind the wheel, than a lighter rated jack.
