Most Popular RV for 2023 Ram ProMaster 3500

great customer service, arrived on time; very happy with the product - it works GREAT on my Travato.

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.

I was really impressed the order arrived days in advance of when I was told I would get it. I have not yet been able to install it but I will update after I get that done, however, first impression, it is a really great looking piece. If you could call a functional unit beautiful that is how I would classify it. Hopefully it installs and performs up to spec.

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.

I bought this to get my spare tire off the back end of my trailer so I could use it for other purposes (like hauling bikes). My trailer came with a carrier rack on the back that held the spare tire. When it folded down the tire would rub on the ground due to clearance...or lack thereof. The item arrived quick and in a giant coffin sized box. It was packaged very well (sealed in plastic, spray foam and a cardboard box) but somehow was still damaged. The crank handle had a bend in it which gave it an orbit the size of a volleyball. I was able to get most of it out so I could use it. It had to be from whoever packed it in the box as well as it was packaged. My hope is I never have to use this thing!! Anyway, I mounted it on the front of my fifth wheel just behind the landing gear. If I did ever need, God forbid, to change the tire, I could just go around front to retrieve it instead of crawling under the trailer. The install was pretty easy and there was no assembly whatsoever. There were also no instructions provided and the documentation link on the site didn't work. etrailer fixed that pretty quickly. The most challenging part of getting it on th etrailer was just that...getting it on the trailer. I used jack stands to hold it up close and then C Clamps to hold it still. The other fun part was drilling the holes and screwing in the self tapping screws (both are requested (and not included) in the documentation). When drilling all those holds, I looked like Mr. Mom changing Kenny's painted sisters diaper and I still had hot sharp metal going down my sleeve and the back of my shirt. ettrailer honored their price guarantee too so that was great! So far so good! Thanks etrailer!

My wife and I just purchased our 2022 Flagstaff Microlite 22TBS. We are new to the RV world and could not be happier we discovered etrailer who’s awesome customer service and support helped us supply our trailer to make it our home away from home. One thing we found was with the spare tire mounted on the rear bumper, it interfered with our bicycle rack and our cargo carrier when we needed to carrier our generator. Upon looking at our options on etrailer.com we found the Lippert RV Spare Tire Carrier. When it arrived at our home we found it was very nicely packaged and upon opening the box the carrier was wrapped in plastic and held securely in place with the use of spray in foam. Once I removed the carrier I found there wasn’t a single scratch or imperfection. The carrier comes without the mounting hardware or installation instructions, but this is clearly stated in the advertisement, and the link for the complete installation is supplied in the ad as a PDF, which was easily downloaded and lists the recommended hardware for the installation. I was easily able to purchase the eight grade 8 5/16” X 1’ bolts, washers and nylon lock nuts, however the eight 5/16” X 3/4” self drilling screws were not available at any of my local hardware stores. I did a quick online search and found the self drilling 5/16” X 3/4” bolts which I received on the same day we received the carrier. Following the installation instructions made the installation a breeze. I made the initial measurements for the carrier’s location and used four clamps to hold it in place while drilling the holes for the required hardware. Even though it’s not called out for in the installation instructions I drilled pilot holes into the steel frame for the 5/16” self drilling bolts and was able to install the carrier myself without any issues. Once I completed the installation, I easily placed the spare tire on the carrier using the winch and following the instructions. The spare tire carrier is everything we hoped it would be and now allows us to mount our bike rack using the hitch receiver on the rear of our trailer. I would recommend the Lippert Spare Tire Carrier to anyone needing to mount their spare tire in an alternate location.

Mount worked good. Had to add some additional bracing to RV bumper for the weight of a spare tire. The 4 inch square bumper on my class c motorhome is made of thin metal with not much holding it on to frame of RV. Just need to be creative!!

The Rigid Mount Spare Tire bumper mount seems to be well built. But....it did not fit my spare that goes on my little 2025 Coachman Freedom Express 19SE. Tire = 5 Lug, ST205/75R14 standard rim tire. The "C" channel will not fit the rim flush for the 2 mounting bolts. The C channel hits the rim no matter which way the tire is facing, preventing a flush rim mount. It won't snug/flush up so I will have to figure out some modifications to make this work as some others have had to do. Btw, the 5 lug rim mounts offset as you can see in the photo. The 5 lug rim will not mount in the center of the "C" bracket.
