The Lippert Components RV Spare Tire Carrier part # LC159041 is designed primarily for trailers so it would not be a good choice for your motorhome. The weight of the spare tire, size of the hub pilot, and frame spacing would all be an issue so I cannot recommend this. However, I do have an option for you in the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195225 which is designed specially for a motorhome spare wheel/tire so you know it will work for you as well. That said, there are really not a whole lot of spare wheel/tire carriers available for a motorhome.

Please note, the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier still retains the hitch receiver opening so you can flat-tow a vehicle for example if needed.
