  • Can Spare Tire Carrier Be Mounted On Trailer Wall
  • From the photo you sent, it looks like you have aluminum trailer walls, so the first thing you will want to consider is the strength of the walls. Since the Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier, part # DL22120 is designed to be mounted on a trailer tongue or frame, you will want to make sure that the location you choose is strong enough and able to handle the weight. You will want to consider strengthening the wall by reinforcing with a metal plate on the inside of the wall between the brackets...

  • External Spare Tire Carrier for an Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • Mounting a spare tire carrier, like # 413200 to the outside of an enclosed trailer can be done. You will just want to be absolutely sure the carrier and the tire are both secure. I would secure it by adding braces on the inside of the trailer going horizontal to the frame. Then fasten the carrier through the trailer's wall to these braces. The tire attaches to the carrier using wheel bolts and lug nuts.

  • Will Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Work With Motorhome and Bike Rack
  • The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 only has about 8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and my understanding of Fiamma racks for motorhomes are that they are designed to sit pretty low when mounted on rails of motorhomes. What you can do is use this spare tire carrier as a receiver for a bike rack, but you would need one that is rated for use on the back of a motorhome such as the Swagman Titan 2-Bike Rack # S63400. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier will...

  • RV Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Holder
  • The etrailer # e96ZR carrier that you referenced does not have a tire carrier specifically made for it. You may be able to modify the cargo carrier and spare tire carrier # Y07076 to hold the spare tire to the carrier. If modifying the cargo carrier is not something you want to do then I recommend a cargo net like # C18202. I am not sure if you would have sufficient clearance to place the tire underneath of it when the platform is down.

  • Does the Rampage Jeep Spare Tire Extender Still Allow the Use of the Stock 3rd Brake Light
  • I have a solution for you, but because the stock spare tire carrier and the 3rd brake light on the Jeep JKU are all one piece, the Rampage Spare Tire Extender # RA86610 will not allow you to continue using the 3rd brake light. In order to continue using your existing 3rd brake light you would need to use a different spare tire carrier like the Bestop # B6196101 which accepts the factory 3rd brake light in the tower on the back of the carrier. This carrier will extend the brake light up...

  • How to Lock Hitch Bolt on Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier to Hitch Receiver
  • Thanks for reaching out! To lock your Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 to your Class C motorhome you can use the Roadmaster Quick-Disconnect Padlock # RM-301 in place of the hairpin clip that comes with the carrier. This won't be keyed alike with the other locks that you purchased but it does give you a way to secure the carrier to your hitch receiver. Aside from that Roadmaster doesn't really have any other solution to lock the carrier, and we don't have any locks...

  • Available Spare Tire Covers and Carriers
  • CE Smith Spare Tire Cover # CE27440 is designed to be slipped over a mounted spare tire. It does not require you to unbolt the spare from the trailer or tire carrier. If you refer to the linked photo you'll see how the elastic hem snugs the cover over the back of the tire. If your old cover needs to be cut off you can probably then pull it out from between the tire and the trailer. If the spare is so close/tight on the trailer that you cannot slip the cover over the back edge of the tire...

  • 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.

  • Can the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Tow a Trailer
  • The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 referenced in your question is designed for mounting hitch accessories and flat towing. The manufacturer states that this product is not rated for towing a trailer. The spare tire carrier does have a tongue weight of 400 pounds and flat towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, but keep in mind that using the carrier will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 33 percent. This is a great option for carrying your spare...

  • How To Install the Yakima Spare Tire Carrier on a Nucamp Boondock Tab Travel Trailer
  • I have attached the installation instructions of the Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets part # Y07076 to this answer for you. According to my research, your Nucamp Boondock Tab Travel Trailer already comes with a Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack therefore in order to use this spare tire carrier, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07070. The Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket measures 38-1/2" long x 38-1/2" wide internally and weighs about 25...

  • Spare Tire Carrier for Front Mount Hitch on 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty With 100 lb Tire
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # c31006 does have a bit of an angle, you're right, but I can't recommend using any type of shim or adapter to change the angle. That said, the angle isn't extreme, as you can see by the photo I added showing this carrier at an angle. This really is the best option for your tire because the only other carrier that has the weight capacity and is straight up and down is the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 which is designed to be...

  • Can the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier be Installed Without the Spare Tire on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300, and all of the other spare tire racks for that matter, actually use the spare tire to help stabilize the bike rack so you will need your spare tire installed to utilize any of these bike racks. It would be best to have the spare tire for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler anyways in case you ever do have a flat. We do have other bike rack options that mount on the roof (via a roof rack) or in a trailer hitch. If you'd rather go one of these routes instead...

  • Can the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 be Mounted Horizontally
  • The Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 that you referenced can only be mounted vertically on a trailer frame. If you are looking for a spare tire carrier that will carry the tire lower a U-bolt style like part # DL22128 might be a better option for you.

  • Does Weight Influence Where to Mount Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier UF15-954730
  • There won't be enough weight for the carrier and your tire to influence where you need to mount the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730. The carrier only weighs 10 lbs and has a maximum capacity of 60 lbs, which isn't going to be enough of a weight factor to truly make any type of difference in how your trailer tracks. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier...

  • Difference Between Towing Capacity and Flat Towing Capacity for the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier
  • Allow me to clear up the confusion. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier item # RM-195125 can be used to flat-tow a vehicle behind a motorhome that weighs up to 6,000 lbs. It can also be used to mount an accessory like a cargo carrier or a bike rack that has a combined weight of 200 lbs. You are not able to tow a trailer with this spare tire carrier. It has a flat towing capacity not a towing capacity. Also using this spare tire carrier reduces your hitch capacity by 33%. You will want to...

  • Spare Tire Mounting Location on Trailer Frame
  • The spare tire can be mounted near the wheel and axle to the frame, but you will want more than 5 inches of ground clearance. I recommend the Extra Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier by Dutton-Lainson # DL22145 based on your photo. Every extra inch will help as trailer suspension normally has a deflection of about 4 inches so just 5 inches would be pretty tight but can work in most cases. Another option if you have enough tongue space to mount the tire vertically, you can use the Spare...
