Clamp this durable steel, folding spare tire carrier onto your trailer or RV bumper. Fits 4" wide, rear, box-style bumpers. Holds most standard automotive and camper tires.by: Robert10/02/2019
Installed quickly and easily using basic hand tools. I followed the directions and torqued the nuts on the u-bolts to 30 lb ft, which ended up bending the corners of the mounting flanges. I'm using this to hold a 205/75R14 spare tire, and I hope that the rest of the mount will hold up with use. First chance I get, I will be pulling this off, hammering the flange corners back flat, and welding on an additional piece of plate to strengthen the flange.

I have a Class A and tow a dolly. My dolly does not have space to attach a spare tire. This spare tire holder mounts perfectly on my rear bumper. It's out of the way, easily accessible and looks good.

Sturdy product-easy install about 20 minutes-fast delivery-Third purchase from etrailer - great service and products
by: Sean 10/23/2023
Fine product, sturdy. For our popup tent trailer, it needed a little extra securing due to the fact that our trailer's bumper is not solid and it would wobble with the weight of the tire.
by: Roland06/25/2018
-My application for this "Carrier" was to hold a Thor / Ford E350 Full size spare tire. This carrier's description is "a Spare Tire Carrier". This infers it is heavy duty enough in its quality construction to hold a spare tire. Its weakness is it uses as its mount the hollow square, thin wall, rear bumper found on many RV's. This square tubing bumper with the spare tire's weight will flex, and eventually collapse the square tube bumper. To make it worse this collapse occurs when on the road and has caused on-the-road incidents.
For your information there is an online video of a repair made to a collapsed square tube bumper, including the upgrade repair to this very same "Spare Tire Carrier". If interested I can send a link to this video. I am sure you can find it on your own.
At the least to make this application safer and longer lasting I would require the purchaser add a Towing Receiver Extension be installed. Like the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long Item # C45791. It would give a mounting surface to help the Square Tube Bumper hold the Spare Tire's weight. Without this additional support the "Spare Tire Carrier" will not safely, reliably hold the weight of a full size truck tire.

I recently bought a spare tire carrier for my camper from etrailer and I can say it was a pleasant experience arrived sooner than expected due to Bryan’s shipping up grade. The packaging was well done and it was in perfect shape. Now here is the crazy part it is no longer a spare tire carrier I am a ham radio operator and use my gear while camping in the middle of nowhere. It was just what I needed to make the mount for my 24’ fiberglass antenna tower. I cut it down and welded a pipe to it now my fiberglass pipes fit inside and I can just walk the portable tower up and pin it in place.
by: Mike M.07/02/2017
Poor quality product. Metal is too thin for the application allowing the wheel/tire to wobble and vibrate. U-shaped bracket cracked all the way through where it attaches to vertical post. A stress fracture started at the corners of one of the square holes punched for the carriage bolts. This happened after only 3k miles on the road and less than a month of exposure to the elements.
by: Phillip04/26/2020
The product is able to hold the weight of our spare tire but the design puts too much stress on the bumper of our Minnie Winnie. With the extension of on the carrier and spare tire rim, the weight of the tire pulls away from the motorhome and puts stress on the bumper. I strongly discourage this for a Class C motorhome.
by: Tony M.10/10/2011
felt the tire mount was very easy to install. It meet my needs perfectly,I am very satisfied with the service and merchandise I received. Thank you, I will recommend you if anyone I know is looking for supplies for there trailers..I would rate the service,deliver,and product Outstanding.Again Thank you,Have a good day.

Just what I was looking for. Had the ground clearance I required for off road at a fair price. Easy to install.

Its worked out perfectly. I ended up having it welded further back towards the trailer to maximize turning radius. Its just what I was looking for.

Will fit my Coleman 17R RV bumper to mount Karrier spare tire and rim I received from you yesterday. Perfect!

Here are some photos of my Ultra-fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier I purchased form E-trailer
by: James06/09/2022
The original spare tire mount supplied by the dealer was beginning to fail. So, I went on the hunt for a replacement. After reviewing many I decided on the Ultra-Fab. It is well designed, well made and installs easily. Also, it has a Life Time Warrenty.
by: DeNomolos04/15/2023
One year later, spare tire carrier is still holding the spare tire like it is supposed to. Trailer is stored outside, so it's exposed to CA weather. No rust or any other distress noted to the carrier. I'm happy!

This doesn’t fit my 8 hole 16” trailer tire
Richard

They never worked at all. They don’t fit the 16” 8 hole wheels. I modified them to fit but they were so flimsy the spare wheel was wobbling while I was driving down the road so I took it off and made my own

This spare tire carrier is a universal style and does fit most 8 bolt wheels. If you send me a photo of your wheels it will be helpful to determine what went wrong.
by: Rex 02/10/2024
Simple and works well. Worth it.
by: Oscar12/08/2013
Happy with product fast shipping easy installation.
Was unable to locate product at any automotive stores.
Found online.
Mounted fine to my newly installed bumper on my. 1965 silver streak.
by: Sean07/22/2021
This is exactly what I expected. Also, great customer service! Here’s a pic… I bought both the extra spare and mount on the right from etrailer on different orders… extremely happy with everything.
by: Evan 11/27/2021
Easy installation. Appears to be a study construction considering the price. I like the bracket that bolts onto the upright to hold the tire. It is more solid than the old one i had that was welded and started cracking. Shipping from etrailer was quick as usual.

I needed a tire carrier for a large tire (my spare for my truck)on my boat trailer as I wouldn’t be able to get to my spare carrier on my truck. This carrier had to raise my spare higher as my spare tire is much larger than my boat tires and it would drag when backing down boat ramps. The ultra fab spare tire was the answer for me.
Bob

It still on my boat trailer and still perfect.
by: Bryan08/17/2020
I needed a spare tire for my rv and a mount. This wheel is exactly like the ones on my rv and the tire is better. Shipping is fast. I couldn't be more pleased.
by: Dr. Don08/23/2022
Excellent product! I thought there was going to be lots of play due to its pin, but I was very surprised with how little movement there is. The ability to lower the tire gives me access to the back of my camper - very convenient indeed (do not have to remove the tire and/or carrier bracket)!

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for RV Dual WheelThe CR Brophy Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier, part # BR56VR can carry 1 dually wheel (not two) with an 8 bolt lug pattern. The carrier is compatible with wheels up to 17-1/2 inches in diameter and will fit on square bumpers that are either 4 x 4 or 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches. The # UF15-954730 carrier you'd looked at isn't for dual wheels. I've linked to a product description video featuring the spare tire carrier I recommended.
view full answer... - Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 Spare Tire Carrier for 2012 Holiday Rambler Class C MotorhomeUnless your wheel has a 5 lug on a 5 inch bolt circle, the Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 spare tire carrier would be a good choice. The carrier has a 70 lb capacity, and is compatible with most 5,6 and 8 lug wheels. The carrier is designed for use on a 4 inch by 4 inch bumper.
view full answer... - Trailer Spare Tire Carrier That Fits 5-on-4-3/4-Inch Wheel Bolt PatternYour 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheel bolt pattern is fairly uncommon these days and most of our trailer-mount spare tire carriers do not work with this pattern. None of the CE Smith carriers will work but my contact at Ultra-Fab said that their # UF15-954730 bumper-mount carrier WILL work with your 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheels. Since this unit uses a rectangular plate to secure the wheel at the pilot hole the fit is not super-sensitive to the slight difference in hole spacing between a 5-on-4-1/2 wheel...
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for a 2005 Dutchmen Tab TrailerThe LP tank does make it a little more difficult, but not impossible. I will say that the Ultra-Fab Folding Carrier # UF15-954730 will fit a 4" x 4" tube, so if the part of the A-Frame you want this to attach to matches this size, I do recommend it. The 60 pound capacity and ability to carry 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels, it is very versatile. That being said, if the frame is 3" x 4" or 3" x 5", I suggest going with the Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120. The bottom of...

We also have the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers #...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier that Can Fit 4 inch Trailer BumperWe have spare carriers like the part # UF15-954730 which were designed specifically to attach to a 4 inch RV bumper which would be my first pick for your application but since the # DM15851-76 was also designed to attach to a 4 inch by 4 inch metal channel there's no reason it wouldn't fit either. The Ultra Fab would have better clearance to your RV wall like you mentioned since it attaches behind the bumper and not on top. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Allow Standard Trailer TowingI believe you are asking if you can tow a trailer while using the receiver of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 and the answer is no because this carrier is only designed to be used for flat towing or an accessory such as a bike rack. For a spare tire carrier that you can use while towing you will need one that attaches to a standard trailer frame, such as the frame mounted CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier # CE27310G or bumper mounted Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier...
view full answer... - Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for TrailerI can't tell by your picture how tall the spare tire mount you're installing is but we have two that may help you. The Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 is 18-1/8 inches tall and the Stromberg Carlson # TR-1 is 18-1/4 inches tall. Both fit on 4 inch bumpers. It looks like the one you have could be a frame mount which might be why it isn't as tall.

- Spare Tire Carrier for a 14" Wheel with a 5 Lug PatternThe Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-1 that you referenced is only compatible with 15" - 16" tires but we do have the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 is compatible with a 14" spare tire if it is for a trailer and weighs under 60 lbs. This mounts to a 4" wide bumper, just like the carrier you referenced, and works with 5 lug patterns aside from 5 on 5" bolt patterns. You can actually add the Carrier Lock # 262DAT to deter theft of your spare tire.

To find the correct fit we'll need to know the entry height (measurement from the ground up to the mounting bracket) and the bracket width (horizontal spacing for the mounting brackets). The Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs # SMFP-1220 you were looking at has an entry height range of 10-1/2" - 13-1/2" and mounting bracket width of 24-1/4" wide. If you can get me these...

If this is what you have on your Winnebago Minnie Winnie, then this should work nicely and you shouldn't have any clearance issues when flat towing your Jeep. The carrier can be positioned along the rear bumper to avoid any interference with the tow bar and it's not going to extend past the bumper much more than the width of your spare tire. Just keep in...

There is not a lot of room for this on the back of a camper. The Draw-Tite Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier part # 6715 states in the instruction not to use it on a trailer.

The Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 will accept your 5 on 4-3/4 spare. This carrier a 4 inch square RV/trailer bumper. I tested this combination in house by literally hooking the Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 to a 5 on 4-3/4 wheel to verify they would fit together and it worked. The Dutton-Lainson Offset Spare Tire Carrier # DL22145 that you referenced only fits 5 on 4-1/2 and 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, so, it will not fit your...
view full answer... - Offset Bumper-Mount Spare Tire Carrier for Use on 1-1/2- x 3-Inch 5th Wheel BumperWe offer two bumper-mount RV-rated spare tire carriers, the fixed # TR-1 from Stromberg Carlson that you referenced, and also the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730. Both are designed to bolt on using included hardware to your RV's 4-inch bumper. Since your bumper is smaller than this you will first want to check your RV owner's manual for confirmation that the bumper is rated for use with clamp-on accessories and can handle the weight of your spare tire/rim. You'll also...
view full answer... - Is an Extension Available for the Ultra-Fab Spare Tire Carrier?There are options for you to transport a spare tire for your trailer, but extensions are not available for the Ultra-Fab Spare Tire Carrier, # UF15-954730. If your trailer will not allow the use of a bumper-mounted carrier, I recommend installing a front-mounted hitch on your vehicle and using a spare tire carrier such as the Draw-Tite # 6715. If you let me know what type of vehicle you have, I can recommend a front-mounted hitch for you. I've also added a link to a video review of the...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 6 Lug Wheel on 4 inch BumperThe Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730 is designed to fit 4 inch bumpers like what you have and can fit 6 lug wheels as well. This would be a great option. In terms of tire cracking it would be about the same exposure to the sun and elements as the tires on the trailer so it really wouldn't be any better or worse. You could always install the spare tire cover part # # 052963751604 on the spare to protect it from the sun.
view full answer... - How to Determine the Bolt Pattern on a Trailer Wheel for Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Spare Tire CarrierThe 5 on 5 wheel that you are referring to is a wheel that has 5 bolt holes for lug nut studs and a 5 inch diameter bolt circle. A 5 on 5 bolt pattern is not a common bolt pattern for trailer wheels. You can do some measuring to determine the bolt pattern of your wheel. If you have 5 bolt holes on your wheel, then you can measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the adjacent bolt hole. If this measurement is 3 inches, then you have a 5 on 5 wheel. If this measurement...

- Will the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier Fit on a 2006 Ford F 450 Class C Motor Home BumperThe Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier, # UF15-954730, clamps onto 4 inch wide box bumpers. If your 2006 Ford F 450 Class C motor home has a 4 inch wide box bumper, then this spare tire carrier will fit. Keep in mind that the weight capacity for this spare tire carrier is 70 lbs. If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch on your motor home, then you could also look into the Curt Spare Tire Carrier, # C31006. The weight capacity for this spare tire carrier is 85 lbs.

Although you could drill additional holes in the tire mount that would match up with those of the pintle mount, the two pieces really are not meant to work together. Another concern I have is that the Ultra-Fab and Stromberg Carlson spare tire tire carriers are meant to be used for trailer tires which are typically smaller and lighter than wheels/tires used on a car, truck or...

- Recommended Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for CamperI'd avoid a folding carrier like the Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 if you don't really need that feature as the folding mechanism is usually the weak link. I'd recommend going with the CR Brophy # BR56VR spare tire carrier. The carrier is manufactured in the US of quality materials, and although we haven't had many customer reviews on the item, those who rated it have rated it highly. I've linked to an install/demonstration video for the CR Brophy # BR56VR spare tire carrier.

If you want something further away from the trailer that is vertical, I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4-, 5-, and 6-Lug Wheels # FHDSTC0101 which gives you a 4-3/4 inch lift and a 7 inch offset.
