Spare tire carrier is 5 star. The issue I have with the design is that it lowers the tow hitch by 2”. This drops the tow point for my toad to the minimum acceptable height and causes it to drag on the pavement often when leaving elevated parking lots. It would be great for Roadmaster to offer a design that would raise the tow point 2” to give purchasers the option to raise rather than lower the tow point. Tow bar manufacturer does not allow more than one connector between the tow bar and the motorhome, so device to raise the tow point is not an option.

This spare tire holder is flexible yet HEAVY Duty. It’s easy for me to get my 155 lb 19.5” tires mounted thanks to the expandable leverage bar provided.

Hang em High. Instalation time about 30 minutes with the help of my son 1 hour 30 minutes. He doesn't need to read instructions. He so smart. Well any way there is a bolt that bolts to the receiver note bolt to. It wouldn't fit so son decided to hammer it in. Guess what round peg square hold. Then son discovered it screws in and he has screw it up. After re thread bolt works great. Lesson don't let 52 year old son install with out reading instructions. This weekend I will mount the tire.

Would have been nice to have a second mounting hole on the receiver portion.

I know some will agree, not agree, or don’t care about this post. It’s about having a spare tire with you in case the worst happens and you need one. I just had new tires on our class C 2017 Sunseeker. I changed the spare also, since it was 7 years old as the ones on the rig. Never had an issue with them, Michelin tires, but felt age was the deciding factor. I went with General Tires, with the hope that some of the mushy feeling might diminish some. And it did!! The sidewall is a little stiffer than the Michelins, thus giving a stiffer ride also. Can’t have the best of both worlds yet in tires, but I’m happy with the stiffer ride. Now to the spare, mounted under and behind the rear axle. I always check tire pressures before a trip, even the spare. Never really noticed how it was mounted; just thought it would be let down like a lot of my pickups I have owned for years with a cable. Nope!! One stud bolt and nut, that is all. It was mounted solid, but to drop the tire down was another story. It took 3 men at the tire shop to lower that tire assembly, it weights 80 pounds. That 16” rim and tire was very awkward and heavy for those men. What would happen if I had a flat and needed the spare, looks like an accident waiting to happen for 1 person to do by themselves. I now have my spare still mounted under the frame, same spot, but with a cable assembly I bought from eTrailer. Much easier and safer for anyone to lower the spare tire anywhere. Had to do a little modifying to allow the spare tire to be mounted with enough clearance to access the turning stud on the winch. Welded 4 spacers blocks giving 1-1/4” clearance so the spare tire would be snugged against them and allow the space clearance needed for the turning shaft. I used ½” emt conduit, ½” pvc coupling and a 1-hole ¾” strap clamp to secure the emt conduit in place on the rear bumper. The ½” conduit is just large enough inside diameter to go over the turning stud on the winch, yet loose enough to allow movement like a universal joint since it is not in perfect alignment. The conduit is attached to the winch stud with a 5/32” cotter pin. I welded a 3/8” drive short extension to the inside of the conduit to be able to use a ratchet, speed handle or drill motor to raise and lower the spare tire.

Spare tire winch seems well built. I got a little creative with the install.

Just what I needed to mount the spare on my Class C with the Ford E450 chassis.

Poor design. No matter what, using the furthest hole on hitch it WILL rub. If you like the finish worn off your tailgate or wall of a trailer the slanted design is not practical. Also need to create something to prevent wobble once installed. Read the fine print on the return policy you will pay for freight return. Good Luck

This was exactly what we needed. It is very well-made and it sits nicely into the hitch with absolutely no wobble. The only reason I gave it four stars was because of the difficulty in aligning the bolts to attach the spare tire. They are free floating so they can be setup for a variety of tires. But this makes it very difficult to align the bolts and try to tighten at the same time. I solved this by making a paper template of the holes from my spare tire. Then I bought 3 jam nuts and 3 washers to secure the bolts into position before lifting the tire in place. Now that the bolts are secured in the right alignment it will be easy to remove and replace the tire in the future. It would be a very simple thing to add these instructions and supplies to the kit.

Well built, hard to lift 200LB tire and get the carriage bolts to align. The M12 retaining ring would not hold the bolts. Used a ATV jack to make slight lift and wiggle bolts into location. I'm 62 work smarter not harder.

Adam from E Trailer was great to work with. Directed me to the correct products. Placed my order and the items arrived within time they were supposed to. I highly recommend E Trailer. I have purchased other hardware as well as electrical wiring harnesses from them and everything has been as advertised.

Bought this to carry a spare tire on the front trailer hitch receiver that I installed on the front of my Ford E-450 motorhome. I am very happy with the quality, finish and fit.

This has been an excellent accessory to my motorcycle trailer as it allows much more room to maneuver people, motorcycles and equipment around without constantly bumping into the spare. This is a quality built item that stays put once installed. Actually looks great and has enough adjustability to center itself so that it looks OEM once installed. I needed to order longer screws for my aluminum trailer frame but they were inexpensive and fit perfectly. I also ordered a locking hard-cover for the spare so it’s secure and looks great too.

Will not work with 235-80 R16 wheels and tires. Not high enough.

I looked elsewhere for a tongue mount spare tire carrier with no luck. I thought, etrailer has always had what I need so I looked here. The first search and I found this mount and it's perfect! You can see in the photos that it fits snug against the rock shield/tool box. I left some space under the tire and I tried to align the two bolts perfectly so that when I remove the tire it will be easy to put back on again. As an added benefit my tool box cover has something to rest against when its open, the tire. The lid didn't have a stop on it. When I opened it the lid would hang on the hinge and I know that wasn't good for the hinge in the long run. I did a live chat to ask what size lug nuts I needed to hold the tire on. It was quickly answered to use 1/2 inch lug nuts. Advance Auto had them for $2.50 each and they were open so the bolt threads didn't hit a stop when I screwed the nuts on. I'm very pleased with the purchase and will continue being one of their loyal customers.

Pictures showing measurements are incorrect, inside measurements are 3-1/2” not 4” as stated. I had to modify bolt holes to fit a 4” square tube bumper. Mount is installed and looks like it will work for me.
