There are two different Roadmaster Spare Tire Carriers, part # RM-195225 which is for motorhomes and part # RM-195125 which is for passenger vehicles. They aren't rated for off-road use but I don't think you will have any problems doing so as long as the vehicle is on four wheels most of the time. The capacity would likely be limited when used off-road so keep that in mind during use but I don't have an exact figure as it is not tested for this so you will need to use your best discretion.
