Bumper Mounted Hitch Recommendation for RV to Carry a 75 lb Spare Tire
Question:
My spare tire weigh is 75 pounds. Can I use the RV Bumper trailer hitch to hold my spare tire. I have a motorhome with the 4 inch solid weld bumper in the back.

Expert Reply:
The Swagman Specialty Trailer Hitch # S64025 that you referenced has a 200 lb capacity so it would be strong enough to handle the weight of your spare tire, but it is designed only for use with bike racks so although it would seem to work for you, I cannot recommend it for you.
For a similar hitch that would work for what you are trying to do you would want the part # UF35-946402 .
For a spare tire carrier you would then want the # C31006 as it would also have a high enough capacity for your spare.
