Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be checking out the Lippert Spare Tire Winch What this component is going to allow you to do is bolt it up where you're trying to put it and give you a spot to hold your spare tire. And it's one that a lot of people are probably familiar with. It reminds me of ones you see on regular passenger cars and trucks for the most part. You're gonna have a rod that gets turned which will get to that in a minute. But when you turn it, it's gonna lower down.

Then obviously you put this through the hole on your spare tire and then you're able to crank it up and keep it in position. And it seems like people use this in a lot of different applications. Today we have a medium sized motorhome and they actually had a spare tire here originally but it was kind of just a chintzy bolt and they had some issues with it. Rusting and everything else, and they wanted to do away with it. And I could definitely understand that anyway because there's no way to lower the tire down.

It's something, it used to be a piece like that that essentially just unscrewed. And then the tire came flying down. So good luck getting it back up and taking it down safely. So now if they do happen to get a blowout or need to change their tire, they can go out back, lower this down safely, pull it out, put the old blown tire up here until they can go get it repaired or whatever. So pretty convenient.

But this is gonna work in just about any application really. And obviously there's things you're gonna have to look out for so it works properly, but you can bolt this up to your trailer, your regular utility trailer. It looks like someone used to one on a kayak trailer, a boat trailer. I mean, just about anything where you can bolt this to and you need a spare tire. As long as you got the room, you'll be in pretty good shape.

Something that's worth noting is it feels like it has a decent gear ratio. So one turn actually lowers the cable down a decent amount. So you're not gonna have to turn it for hours to get the signal lower. I know I've come across some of them where they just keep turning and turning and turning and nothing ever happens. Now, this one's about perfect, honestly, about how I'd want it. Low enough gear to where you can get the tire up easy, not have to fight it, but not take forever either. It is a steel cable there. With that said, this is going to handle up to 150 pounds. So every spare just about, you should be in pretty good shape. i\If your spare weighs over 150 pounds, you need to look at something else or that's a really, really heavy spare tire. So generally speaking, this should be good for just about any application. Something that I do wanna mention that I wish was a little bit different, especially in our application is the fact that our rod here that turns it is below our mounting points. And so whenever I bolted this up, I come to realize whenever you put the tire up that the tire would normally sit against these metal portion, these metal supports. But obviously with this rod here that's not gonna work 'cause the tire would hit it and pinch it. So I did have to change that up a little bit and put these pieces of steel here to give me the clearance I needed. And granted that's just any type of design. Every design is gonna be a little bit different, but just keep that in mind wherever you wanna mount this up where your spare tires gonna sit flat, it has to be below this portion there. If they could have put that up a little bit higher, changed things up a little bit, it might make it a little bit easier in some applications. But it's just gonna depend on what you're needing and what you're trying to do. And in order to operate this, you are going to need this rod as well. And this just uses a cotter pin, just clips onto the end of it. The cotter pin and hardware and everything else don't come included. You'll have to get that yourself. But by putting this on, that'll allow us to use a tool to actually turn this from the back of a motorhome and get our tire either down or up. Other than that though, I mean, not really a whole lot to it. It's just a winch really. The sides are made from metal. This piece here is plastic. It feels well-built. Everything feels tight and solid. And from here, it's really just trying to figure out if this is gonna work for you or not. So we'll go over some measurements and stuff. I pulled the cable out completely. If you're wondering about the length of it, it's about 45 inches, believe it or not. So comes down a pretty long way. So I feel like that ought to be good for most people. And if you're wondering if you're tire, if the center hole is really big and wondering if this will catch it, we'll grab that measurement real quick just to be on the safe side. Again, this'll probably work for just about all of them. So that's about seven inches there. Obviously, if it's smaller than that you're fine. You can do this to work it up through there. So it really don't matter how big the center hole is. This will more than likely fit through it there. And in terms of, if you're trying to figure out where to mount it or anything like that, the overall length of it. So from end to end is going to be about 6-1/4 inch. And as far as the width goes, we measure that again, that is going to be about 1-3/4" wide. So relatively compact and you should be able to sneak this thing quite a few different places and we'll get a height measurement too. I kinda forgot about that one here. So from the top to the very bottom, that's going to be about 4-1/4 inch. So just wanna talk about how to actually operate the spare tire winch. So I talked about that adapter tube that you're gonna need to put onto it, cotter pin it, and that's gonna run back to where you're trying to get to it. In our case, really the only thing I could do is put it behind our license plate and I drill the hole. And just like how you would do it with your car, you'd take your spare tire tool, put it in there and rotate it. So you can pick up this guy here. But honestly, if you had a four-way, like a regular tire iron or even just a socket set, a large socket set. All this is is a 3/4 inch, 6-point socket essentially, just welding onto this rod. But it's nice to have a complete package. You know where it is. So if you want this, you can grab it at etrailer, but I'll line that up there and perks no different than any other spare tire. You can just crank it up and down. And that'll finish up our look at of our Lippert Spare Tire Winch..

Holds spare tires up under travel trailer great after I fabricated a mount. A lot better than the nut and bold attachment that coachman had given me from the factory. Highly recommend this as an upgrade

The cable winch system is holding up great. I haven’t had to snug it up since instal a year ago so no complaints on this product!



by:

Ordered the winch to replace the spare holder bracket that came with my new Forest River coach. The bracket was difficult to use. When the two nuts were removed the spare would fall directly to the ground. Getting it back on was nearly impossible without using some type of jack or lift. This winch was fairly easy to install after removing the OEM bracket and determining the best place to mount. No fasteners were provided which makes sense since each install will be a little different based on your set up. The unit also does not come with a crank so I fashioned a way to crank it using an extra 13 MM deep socket with a hole drilled through it to fasten the socket to the end of the winch with a cotter key. I then use a 3/8 inch ratchet to raise and lower the spare. The system works well although I am somewhat concerned about the tire being totally supported if the winch would somehow loosen and lower when traveling a bumpy road. I may install an additional quick release strap to alleviate this possibility. Overall very pleased with the product and install.



by:

Very good product but the hole in the rim was bigger than the round disk that holds the tire so I made a plywood adaptor to make the hole in the rim smaller. Other than that it has worked well.



by:

Very easy to mount work for what I was wanting to do mounted my spare under the trailer. I have not had a flat yet.



by:

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



by:

This is the second winch I have purchased from etrailer. Great product and great company. I use them to move the spare tire from the rear bumper of the camper to under the tongue.



by:

The part is great it was the service that was very bad. Part was lost and etrailer did not help or understand the problem. They do not know usps tracking system or the rotten service usps provides. As long as they use usps my business will go elsewhere.



by:

Shipped right on time and appears to be of very good quality. I mounted it on the other side of my factory installed spare tire holder which had a mount bar going across the entire width of the bottom frame. Now I have a double spare.



by:

Excellent service from etrailer!



by:

It was more heavy duty than what came with the trailer. All I had to do is some miner mounting adjustments.



by:

Could not use on my Lance 1475



by:

This was perfect to get my spare tire hidden and out of the way for my kayak trailer



by:

Bolted in perfectly and worked perfectly, what more can I ask for?



by:

When I took our Class C to etrailer, they used their ingenuity and installed my spare tire carrier in a way that I could raise and lower it from the back of the unit instead of having to crawl under it. That was incredibly ingenious and I was totally thrilled!!! Great job etrailer!!!



by:

My wife and I love it.



by:

Great idea but it drops down on bumpy roads, vibrations or any other time. had to put two eye hooks and a rachet strap to hold tire up. its sad that this quality is being pushed when there are lots of other models that work perfect. the price is to high for this quality



by:

Working fine.



by:

Very good product. I would recommend it to all by my RV friends. I installed the spare tire winch under my Coleman 22 foot travel trailer.



by:

Still sitting on the floor of my garage



by:

Looks well made and I have it installed. Need to attach a mechanism to raise and lower the tire

by:

I purchased this a year ago and installed it under my RV. I have functioned it 3 times over the year to take down and replace a spare tire. Every tie it functioned as well as day one! Any one with concerns, dont have any this product works well.



by:

Product was as described and easy to replace the one on my 2021 trailer that failed after using it twice. Praying this one lasts longer worked great storing the spare.

  • Replacement Crank Handle For the Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable
    We do have something like that. The Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable # LC159056 use the Crank Extension for Lippert Spare Tire Winch Assemblies # LC1315411 which attaches to the winch. You would then use the Replacement Crank Handle for Lippert Manual Scissor Jack # LC285324 to raise and lower the spare tire.

  • Can The Lippert RV Spare Tire Carrier Winch Be Locked In Place To Prevent The Tire From Dropping?
    There is no way to lock the Lippert RV Spare Tire Carrier with Winch # LC159041 as it ships from the factory. You would need to weld on a tab which would allow you to use a Pin # 37201211 by drilling a hole through the tab and shaft for the winch. We do have a Replacement Winch # LC159056 you can use to replace your current winch since the internal brake is not holding the tire in place. Lippert does note with these to not over crank or use any power tools to raise/lower the tire as that...

    Looking at the BAL Retract-A-Spare it has a much different design than the Lippert Spare Tire Winch # LC159056 you found. You may be able to mount the new winch so it will still work on your trailer but as we do not have both the products here with your trailer I can not guarantee you will not need to make any modifications.

    There are going to be two parts to the handle that you will need to operate the Lippert Components Spare Tire Winch part # LC159056.

  • Could Lippert Tire Winch Mount Fit 2020 Coachmen 240 FS
    It's possible the Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable # LC159056 could attach to the studs you have under your RV frame but the studs would need to be 5-1/4 inch apart on center as this has mounting holes that are 5-1/4 inches apart. The width of the mounting bracket is 1-3/4 inches so the channel this would fit into would need to be at least that big.

I went out to the warehouse and found that the measurements you're asking about for the Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable # LC159056 are 3-3/4" and 6" when it's wound all the way up. Your tire will be pushing against the trailer frame on that shorter end so I don't think you'll be needing any kind of spacer to keep it stable.
