It works well enough. Holds the tire and such. But I noticed that the entire arm can already wobble a bit to either side after just one road trip from NY to West Virginia and back. Been only using it for a few weeks.
During first install it would hold itself nearly straight up when the screw was in. With only a tiny bit of give. But now when driving I can hear the spring loaded pin tapping the metal of the slot it is in when it tilts back and forth during driving.
Not sure if it is designed with this much give in the structure of it. But wanted to let others know. Screw still holds and stays tight, but the constant squeaking and tapping of the metal when it wobbles makes me constantly look in the review mirror.
great customer service, arrived on time; very happy with the product - it works GREAT on my Travato.
Great product, works as advertised, etrailer.com price much less than others.
just what I need for my camper and the size spare I have (17 inch wheel)
Workmanship is great, but must have some modifications, unable to open rear doors. The pivot point seems too high, possibly lower receiver.

Glad to hear you like the part, but sorry to hear you can't open the rear doors with it on. You are not the first person to say this, so I will be getting with Roadmaster to see if a redesign can be looked into. It definitely sounds like it would be a good idea. Are you going to be carrying something in the hitch on the back of the spare tire carrier?
Product is very well built. Obviously a quality unit. Intstalling it on the RV tomorrow morning. E-Trailer is great to work with. Shipping is quick and they keep you notified along the way!
This spare tire carrier fits great on my 2020 Winnebago Travato!
Easy installation, and I feel so much safer knowing I’ve got a spare tire onboard!
It’s very sturdy and well built. Installation was easy. I cannot open the door on my RAM pro master with this installed. My back up sensors constantly alarm with this installed. My wheel is a bit too deep to install, so I will have to modify and/or buy other parts to safely use. I would not have purchased this if I had known all of these issues.
This spare tire carrier provided a solution that not only made it possible to carry a spare but made handling the tire easier.
Works great on my 05 Excursion. Carrying a 35 inch tire on an 18 inch wheel. Ended up using slightly different hardware.... 1/2 x 20 lugnuts and bolts to secure it. Also put a regular bolt in place of the hand tightened safety bolt in order to torque it down and stabilize it better. Product is very well made and is probably the best approach to carrying an oversized spare, especially when an aftermarket bumper with a spare attachment is generally well over $2k. There is also room to lift the back glass as well as tow my utility trailer.... probably won't be able to tow the camper though without an extension. Using a torklift 20k dual receiver hitch
A solid piece simple yet strong.
Does the job and you don’t have to do any heavy lifting to bolt to the base.
And extend the leverage rod and raise into the lock position and done
Was easy to assemble!
I bought this spare tire carrier for my Mercedes Sprinter camper van for 3 reasons; 1. To free up significant storage space inside my camper by moving the spare tire outside, 2. To be able to easily swivel my spare tire out of the way to access the storage area at the back of my van, and 3. To be able to use my bike rack to carry 2 electric bikes. Perfect solution for me!
Love this well worth the money great instructions easy to put together very sturdy love it!!!!
This is truely an exceptional product. Its robustness and convenient features are exceptional. I had a 40lb toolbox mounted on top of my spare tire, as well as a 2.5 gallon gas can on top of the toolbox. The unit held up flawlessly, even with the burden of the extra weight, even on REALLY bad roads I encountered traveling through Canada and Alaska...all the way to the Artic Circle; a round trip of 20,000 miles in 6-months. While the size/offset on my wheel was was too deep to mount it directly to the the anchor flange, the use of longer bolts with about 10 washers apiece held securely to the mount plate with jam nuts worked beautifully. AsA retired mechanical engineer, I highly recommend this Roadmaster spare tire carrier.
The Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount saves you from crawling under your Sprinter based chassis to retrieve the dirty, rusting spare wheel & tire. From experience I found you could not remove the spare wheel from the rickety carrier mounted to the chassis just by undoing the securing bolts. FYI, a spare wheel/tire is heavy!! Get a Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount!
The Roadmaster spare tire mount will work great for me. I have a 2024 Mercedes Sprinter RV and it didn’t come with a spare.
The product is great...it's designed for a van, I believe, so in saying this the it should stick out of the reciever a little further. Once installed I could only open the back doors far enough to stick.my arm in. I have a 6" reciever extension that I used which allowed me to open the back doors. Once the tire was in place i was only able to open the doors enough for me to squeeze through. Thus is no big deal though if you swing the tire down to one side or the other. Then the doors open fully.
For a long trip this is still piece of mind knowing I can fix a flat on the road and not stranded.... especially in areas of no cell service. No complaints from me.

Still like the item and has worked out great. No complaints
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.

At first I didnt like it sticking so far out front but it grows on you. The ease of lifting the tire is a plus. Worth the expense. As I do not have underneath storage or rear bumper space. Still would like a better style or design fo attachment of tire to lift. Im still looking for a welder to welder Mt reciver to my grill. Overall it works as I expected it to.
Exactly what I needed. Now I don’t have to carry the spare in the back of my Jeep Wrangler toad!
etrailercom customer service is beyond superb.
My order was missing the “lowering” lever.
They immediately addressed the issue.
Answered all questions prior to ordering.
They aren’t the cheapest, but I can sleep nights.
Can’t Beat their Customer Service!!!

Luckly, havent had a flat tire to use the spare! The product has held up well...no problems. Just remember to lockdown the spare and remove the lowering lever when in storage...it will be stolen if you dont!!!
This item arrived today in excellent condition and appears to be a perfect match for my Class B Rv. I want to mention the supreme customer service I received from Adam at etrailer. Although I initially ordered the incorrect spare tire mount for my RV, I sent Adam an e-mail and he was able to do a quick return and re-order of the correct spare tire mount for my RV. The whole process took 48 hours, from pick-up of the original item to delivery of the new correct item. Thanks Adam and etrailer !
Very happy with the RoadMaster spare tire carrier #195125 I installed on our 2017 mb sprinter 2500. This is a heavy duty unit that looks great and works as advertised. With the exception of installing the two nylon washers between the shaft and main hitch it was easy to install and easy to operate.

Brilliant. It was a great option for this sprinter van.
I changed the rear gas tank from 16 gallons to one that is 38 gallons for long distance off road travel. There no longer was room for the spare tire. Vehicle is 1985 F-250 4x4 hi-Boy 8600# GVW. This spare tire carrier also allows me to tow my other vehicles or trailer. Some Devcon keeps the wheel studs in place much better. I use an anti-rattle clip on the receiver to keep the noise and rattle down. The handle extension helps to lower and raise the tire to either side. No problems off road. I can still open the shell rear door. Only reason I docked a point was no license plate holder to relocate my plate. I drilled the stud bolts for small padlocks. This with a mounted tire made trial fitting of tire chains easy because all states (but one, probably Hawaii) mandate carrying tire chains in the winter even if a 4x4 with snow tires. Tire weight is 55# plus that of a steel wheel and no problem with the weight. BTW, tire cover not shown but I use one that is personalized for my VFW Post.

If you need a license plate relocator I would suggest item # LPL55CB as it has a heavy duty plastic housing so you do not have to worry about rust.

The Spare Tire Mount works exactly as designed. Very good quality, well designed. My only reasons for less than 5 starts is the cost.
The tire carrier arrived on time, quick shipment! Packing was excellent. I started the install by myself, but needed an extra hand to help with holding the plastic washers in place. Then determined, the 4inch bolt needed “just a little bit of persuasion” to fit thru the hole!!!
Installation was spot on-now waiting on road trip to test out how everything rides back there!!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad to hear the carrier is holding your spare securely, but I'm sorry to hear you're noticing movement and noise while driving. I'd recommend checking that all of the mounting hardware is torqued to the installation specifications and verifying that the spare tire is seated completely against the mounting plate. It would also be worth inspecting the spring-loaded pin to make sure it's fully engaging and that there isn't any debris preventing it from locking into place. Please let me know if you are still having issues so I can reach out to Roadmaster.
