The correct choice between the Roadmaster # RM-195125 and # RM-195225 will depend on how far under the rear of your motorhome the hitch is recessed, and what type of wheels the coach uses. Class B motorhomes many times use dually wheels. If that's the case, you'll want to use # RM-195225 because of its higher capacity and compatibility with wheels from 16-24-1/2 inches with any bolt pattern. If the distance from the hitch pin hole of your receiver and the furthest rearward point of the bumper is less than 10 inches, then the # RM-195225 would likely work, but you'll want to take one additional measurement.

Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the hitch receiver tube closest to the front of the vehicle. If this distance is between 3-3/16" and 3-13/16", you would not want to use the spare tire carrier, as it will place one of its hitch pin holes right at the end of the receiver tube which would weaken it (see diagram).

If your motorhome uses standard wheels with a bolt circle up to 8 inches, you'd want to use the # RM-195125. Also, Roadmaster has told us that the # RM-195225 would block the rear doors of a Sprinter based motorhome, while the # RM-195125 will not.
