How to Carry a Spare Tire and Cargo Carrier on a Camper
Question:
I am looking for a bumper mount spare tire holder. My issue is, I have a cargo rack on the back of my camper and I cannot find a mount tall enough that will allow the spare to fit. Do you recommend a mount?

Expert Reply:
Looking through our bumper mount options, the tallest seems to be the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-1 which measures 9-1/2" from the top of the trailer mount bracket to the center of the tire-mount bracket.
While not ideal, if that doesn't work there is the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 which will install in the hitch and then the cargo carrier would install in the front of the spare tire carrier. But one big thing to note is that your tongue weight capacity will be decreased by 33%.
