I have a solution for you to carry your spare 245/70R19.5 motorhome tire, however we do not have any bumper mounted spare tire carriers that are designed to support the size and weight of a Class A or Class C motorhome tire.
To carry your spare tire, I recommend using the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 because it is specially designed for use with motorhomes. This carrier pivots down to the ground so you can easily access your spare tire, which likely weighs at least 70 lbs, as well as access any rear compartments on your motorhome. The Roadmaster carrier also features a 2 inch receiver hitch, so you can still flat tow your vehicle or carry a bike rack. I have attached a review video of this carrier for you.
For a more budget-friendly spare tire carrier for your motorhome, the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrer # C31006 is a great option. This is a rigid rack, so you will need to lift the tire on and off the carrier. This rack also does not offer an additional 2 inch receiver to allow you to continue to tow or haul with your motorhome's trailer hitch.
If your motorhome does not have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 as it is adjustable to fit frames from 22 inches -72 inches wide and still offers a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. This hitch can either be bolted or welded to the motorhome's frame.
