Exactly what I needed. Now I don’t have to carry the spare in the back of my Jeep Wrangler toad!
etrailercom customer service is beyond superb.
My order was missing the “lowering” lever.
They immediately addressed the issue.
Answered all questions prior to ordering.
They aren’t the cheapest, but I can sleep nights.
Can’t Beat their Customer Service!!!

Works great on my 05 Excursion. Carrying a 35 inch tire on an 18 inch wheel. Ended up using slightly different hardware.... 1/2 x 20 lugnuts and bolts to secure it. Also put a regular bolt in place of the hand tightened safety bolt in order to torque it down and stabilize it better. Product is very well made and is probably the best approach to carrying an oversized spare, especially when an aftermarket bumper with a spare attachment is generally well over $2k. There is also room to lift the back glass as well as tow my utility trailer.... probably won't be able to tow the camper though without an extension. Using a torklift 20k dual receiver hitch

Totally happy with the Roadmaster Tire Carrier. It has worked as expected.

Hang em High. Instalation time about 30 minutes with the help of my son 1 hour 30 minutes. He doesn't need to read instructions. He so smart. Well any way there is a bolt that bolts to the receiver note bolt to. It wouldn't fit so son decided to hammer it in. Guess what round peg square hold. Then son discovered it screws in and he has screw it up. After re thread bolt works great. Lesson don't let 52 year old son install with out reading instructions. This weekend I will mount the tire.

It works great. Because of my situation I actually welded it to my RV frame. This kept the number of joints to a minimum and lessens the cantilever load as I also put a bicycle rack for my e-bikes into the tire carrier.

I changed the rear gas tank from 16 gallons to one that is 38 gallons for long distance off road travel. There no longer was room for the spare tire. Vehicle is 1985 F-250 4x4 hi-Boy 8600# GVW. This spare tire carrier also allows me to tow my other vehicles or trailer. Some Devcon keeps the wheel studs in place much better. I use an anti-rattle clip on the receiver to keep the noise and rattle down. The handle extension helps to lower and raise the tire to either side. No problems off road. I can still open the shell rear door. Only reason I docked a point was no license plate holder to relocate my plate. I drilled the stud bolts for small padlocks. This with a mounted tire made trial fitting of tire chains easy because all states (but one, probably Hawaii) mandate carrying tire chains in the winter even if a 4x4 with snow tires. Tire weight is 55# plus that of a steel wheel and no problem with the weight. BTW, tire cover not shown but I use one that is personalized for my VFW Post.

If you need a license plate relocator I would suggest item # LPL55CB as it has a heavy duty plastic housing so you do not have to worry about rust.

I feel much safer having the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier with a spare tire attached. I was not able to have a spare tire on my vehicle before getting the carrier. However, I am disappointed that I am unable to open the rear doors of my RAM Promaster Cargo Van without completely removing the tire and carrier.
by: Phillip10/17/2019
Very happy with the RoadMaster spare tire carrier #195125 I installed on our 2017 mb sprinter 2500. This is a heavy duty unit that looks great and works as advertised. With the exception of installing the two nylon washers between the shaft and main hitch it was easy to install and easy to operate.

Brilliant. It was a great option for this sprinter van.
by: DebraH8310/04/2022
I’ve been trying for over a year to find a spare tire carrier that can hold a giant wheel and tire without costing a fortune. Somehow I found this one made for RV’s and it’s perfect! It fits my wheel and tire perfectly and looks good on my Excursion. I can still open the back glass when the tire is up and I can open both barn doors when the tire is down to the side. This carrier is very well made and easy to put together. It also allows me to throw a bike rack or small trailer behind it if I need to. I’m so glad that I got this and can have the interior space back that my spare tire was taking up.
For reference my wheel is a Pro Comp 18x9 with a 35x12.50 BFG All-Terrain tire mounted on it. It’s a big heavy spare and this carrier has no issue with it. It’s so easy to swing up and down too. I 100% recommend this!

We have had this mounted to our 2016 Georgetown 328TS for about a year now. Works great. Even though we haven't needed the spare, it's added peace of mind that we are prepared if we ever do need it.

Order arrived in record time. I missed somewhere in the product details that towing weight would be reduced by a third. That knocks Dow the 5000 towing package to approximately 3700 pounds! Package missing 2 nylon washers for tire mounting bolts 3500 Sprinter Wayfarer tires 215/85/R16 tire is too wide to mount properly. It looks like I need to add 1 & 1/2 inch spacers and longer bolts. Have you any solutions for me that will work. Otherwise, the unit looks great and sturdy and solves my light towing problems.

I wanted to reach out to you and let you know two things: 1. I spoke with Roadmaster who confirmed that in this case you can use longer spacer and bolt with the carrier to mount the tire. You can use automotive spacers if you want, just have to have make sure the hardware is tight when used. 2. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you about the missing hardware.
by: Mike N06/21/2019
The product is great...it's designed for a van, I believe, so in saying this the it should stick out of the reciever a little further. Once installed I could only open the back doors far enough to stick.my arm in. I have a 6" reciever extension that I used which allowed me to open the back doors. Once the tire was in place i was only able to open the doors enough for me to squeeze through. Thus is no big deal though if you swing the tire down to one side or the other. Then the doors open fully.
For a long trip this is still piece of mind knowing I can fix a flat on the road and not stranded.... especially in areas of no cell service. No complaints from me.

Still like the item and has worked out great. No complaints
by: Bob A04/05/2020
This is truely an exceptional product. Its robustness and convenient features are exceptional. I had a 40lb toolbox mounted on top of my spare tire, as well as a 2.5 gallon gas can on top of the toolbox. The unit held up flawlessly, even with the burden of the extra weight, even on REALLY bad roads I encountered traveling through Canada and Alaska...all the way to the Artic Circle; a round trip of 20,000 miles in 6-months. While the size/offset on my wheel was was too deep to mount it directly to the the anchor flange, the use of longer bolts with about 10 washers apiece held securely to the mount plate with jam nuts worked beautifully. AsA retired mechanical engineer, I highly recommend this Roadmaster spare tire carrier.
by: Lee H12/30/2020
I bought this spare tire carrier for my Mercedes Sprinter camper van for 3 reasons; 1. To free up significant storage space inside my camper by moving the spare tire outside, 2. To be able to easily swivel my spare tire out of the way to access the storage area at the back of my van, and 3. To be able to use my bike rack to carry 2 electric bikes. Perfect solution for me!
by: Anthony L04/04/2020
I recently retired from a career as a millwright/welder/machine builder, and I have to tell you, etrailers design and quality of their spare tire carrier exceeded my expectations. One thing I did was design and build a portable storage cart to facilitate easy installation and removal from my hitch. I had spent a couple of weeks designing a spare tire carrier that I planned to build myself prior to discovering etrailer's model. I quickly abandoned my plans upon the discovery. No sorry I did. Great product reasonably priced.

The tire carrier works great. We’re getting ready to move it to a newer RV but it’ll just pop right in the 2 inch receiver hitch. No problem.

I had to find a way to be able to use the camper door without be required to remove the motorcycle trailer from my 1972 Chevrolet Blazer with a pop up camper. Mounting the spare tire on the front of the vehicle resulted in engine overheating during the hot summer months. It works exactly as designed.

- Installation to Allow Full Opening of Rear Doors with Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier While I haven't seen the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 used on a vehicle with an offset receiver, when the tire is lowered to the left it will allow the left rear door to at least partially open. Typically the tire size will be sufficient so that you won't be able to open it completely. With that said, if you open the right rear door, put the spare down, and then open the left door you should be able to fully open both doors without any issues. I've linked our review video...
view full answer... - Dimensions of Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier RM-195125The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 pivots to the side as opposed to folding down so the height when doing that would only be to the top of the bracket, which is 7-1/2 inches. When it is in the upright position, the overall height will of course depend on your tire, but from the middle of the receiver to the top of the tire mount is 28-3/4 inches I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125.

- Can Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 be Used at Back of MotorhomeYes, the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 that you referenced can be used at the rear of a Class A motorhome.

view full answer... - Will Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Fit a MotorhomeYes, the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 will work on your Jayco Melbourne motorhome, and it is straight out so it won't lower where the factory receiver is.

- Will Using Roadmaster RM-195125 Spare Tire Carrier Allow Hatch of 2019 Doge Grand Caravan to OpenI don't have vehicle specific information that would allow me to definitively say that the carrier would allow the rear hatch to open fully, but I can certainly help you figure it out. To determine if you'll have clearance, you'll need to do some measurements. The stock tire size for the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan was 225/65-17, which would have a diameter of about 28-1/2 inches. So, the top of the tire would sit at 28-1/2 inches above the ground, when the tire is pivoted to the side....

- Height to Top of Mounting Bracket of Roadmaster Spare Tire CarrierI reached out to Roadmaster, who told me the height from the center of the hitch to the top of the tire mount of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is approximately 28-3/4" from the center of the hitch to the top of the tire mounting bracket. I have added a link to a video review of this carrier for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can I Use the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier RM-195125 on my Class CYes. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 can carry spare tires that weigh up to 200-lbs, so it's well equipped to handle almost any Class A or Class C motorhome tire. This is one of our most popular solutions for campers who have a Class C with rear doors since it will give them the ability to open the doors to access the rear cargo area.
view full answer... - Will the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Allow the Hatch To Open While Swung DownThe Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 should still allow for the rear hatch to open while installed and swung down on most vehicles. That said, this is not something we are able to test and there are too many unknown variables to predict this beforehand. Therefore, testing this out for yourself will be the only true way to determine full compatibility.
view full answer... - How To Determine If An Item Will Clear the Spare Tire On the Roadmaster Spare Tire CarrierIn order to determine if a hitch mounted accessory will clear the spare tire on the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 you will need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of said accessory. This distance will need to be more than the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the spare tire carrier to the outer edge of the tire which is 5-3/4" plus the width of the tire. If you have a 225/75-15 tire with zero offset then the...

With that said, I did get completely different measurements. I included a diagram of what I got, but the closest real touch point will be right at 6-3/4" from the center of the pin hole (Black arrow). There is technically a small part of that bracket's gusset that will measure at 5-1/2" from the center of the...

- Can the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Be Used on a 1999 Toyota Land CruiserYes. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 will work on any vehicle or trailer that has a 2" receiver, so it will work on your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser. This carrier does have a 200-lbs tongue weight limit when used as a towing receiver as well, so you'll want to be sure not to go over that if you're using it between a trailer and your vehicle.

As long as you have over 7-1/2" from the top of the inside of your hitch receiver to the bottom of your door then the door will clear that plate. It is worth...

view full answer... - Could Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Fit Promaster RV and Allow Rear Door to OpenTo determine if the Roadmaster spare carrier part # RM-195125 would allow your rear door to open you'd need to measure 7-1/2 inches above the hitch opening and see if your door would swing above or below that area. If the bottom of your door is more than 7-1/2 inches from the hitch opening then this will allow your rear door to open when the carrier is folded down. It would not obstruct your license plate either on your Promaster since it is offset.
view full answer... - Does the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Have Multiple Locking Positions The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 can be swung down towards the ground for unloading or it can be locked in the upright position which is intended for travel. There are no other positions for the spare tire carrier. I suggest moving the rearview camera if this will be block by the spare tire.

- Will Roadmaster Spare Carrier # RM-195125 Work on 2020 Chrysler PacificaHey Chris, the Roadmaster spare carrier part # RM-195125 would allow the rear hatch to open if you lowered the carrier to the side like it's capable of but it would prevent the door from opening if it was in the upright position.
