How To Carry Motorhome Spare Wheel/Tire While Flat-Towing Vehicle
Question:
I have a 2020 Tron Four winds Class C RV. Can i use the Maxxtow Dual Hitch With the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier in the top hitch and flat tow a HHR in the bottom hitch or would the Ultra-Fab 2 inch motor home Hitch Receiver be better? I just got the RV and need to have a spare tire. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to flat-tow a vehicle and carry a spare tire/wheel for the motorhome you'll need to use the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening part # RM-195225 which is designed for this exact purpose. This option does not require any additional adapters which reduce towing capacity nor will it change the height of the connection point. The spare wheel/tire carrier is also located on a swing arm so it's much easier to get the spare wheel/tire down when needed.
The option of using a dual hitch adapter is not safe for motorhome tires since they are much larger so you will run into issue with clearance, weight, and possibly bolt pattern compatibility.
