I have a solution for you but the etrailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier item # e98ZR and other comparable spare tire carriers at that price range aren't rated for motorhome wheels/tires. The main issue is that the mounting system won't accommodate wheels with large bolt patterns like 8 on 6-1/2". That carrier can only support up to 6 lug wheels that weigh under 121 lbs.

For your Jayco 32 foot Class C you will want to use the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier item # RM-195225. This carrier holds 16" to 24-1/2" spares with any bolt hole pattern and fits a 2" hitch.
