Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Brophy Rigid Mount Spare Tire Carrier for four inch or 4 1/2 inch RV or mini-motorhome bumpers. Now, this rigid mount spare tire carrier allow you to carry your spare tire on your RV or your mini-motorhome bumper. It is designed to mount right here on bumpers that are measuring four inches or 4 1/2 inches square, and it is designed to hold up wheels up to 17 1/2 inch diameter size. You can see, I'm gonna zoom in here, just so you can see, this is where your spare tire will mount to. Once you mount your spare tire, these bolts will come through and you'll tighten the nuts down the hole within the place, this bracket on the bottom here will hold it, and what's nice is this long bolt on the bottom actually has a hole drilled through it, so you could actually put a padlock through there once you install your spare tire.
For security, you can lock it into place. Now, the padlock is not included, you would have to purchase that separately. This is a nice black powder coat finish on the part, helps resist corrosion. It is made in the USA. Few dimensions I wanna give you on this, we're gonna do the overall height, which will be measured from the bottom to the very top here.
So if I get our tape measure, go ahead and pull our tape measure out, and from the bottom to the top, you can see it's gonna measure right at 17 3/4 inches tall. The overall depth, I'm gonna measure right up here where it'll go up against the bumper to the bracket right out here where the spare tire will attach. If we measure from the back to the very depth of it, it's gonna be right at seven inches deep. But that should do it for the review on this Brophy Rigid Mount Spare Tire Carrier for the four inch or 4 1/2 inch RV or mini-motorhome bumpers..

It is working great. It sets nicely on the rear bumper, and nothing has loosened up.

This product is still working as well as it did day one! Having the mount for a spare allows us to travel and feel confident that we can handle a tire emergency.

Gosh darn hill! That wasn't very nice of it. Also, thanks for pointing out the muddiness with the instructions. I'll pass it on to the manufacturer for you. Safe travels out there, Christopher!

I always love a creative solution to a problem! What did you do to create more bracing, Stephen?

The tire carrier is excellent. I am confident that it will not break like the OE piece that came with the trailer. We have to travel some marginally maintained gravel roads in Nebraska and Wyoming to get to the undeveloped camping areas and the spare tire has to be will supported to not break the carrier.

Thank you for your review. The Brophy spare tire carrier that was purchased is not designed for heavy motor home tires. It is more for lighter weight trailer tires. I recommend to get something designed for the weight of motor home tires like part # e98ZR. This will go into your motorhomes hitch and can be used with any bolt pattern. I cannot recommend to use the bumper style carriers with such a heavy tire.

Even in my corrosive coastal atmosphere, there has been no weakness in this unit in the year-plus that Ive used it. No regrets!

Quality still there, a year-plus later. Handles the job, even here in my corrosive coastal weather.

The standoff tab on the Brophy Rigid Mount Spare Tire Carrier part # BR56VR is about 5 so as long as the width of the tire does not exceed 10 inches - 0 offset wheel - you should be able to mount the wheel either way. If the width of the tire exceeds 10 inches then you may still be able to use the carrier if the wheel has an offset. The sum of the tire width plus offset would have to be less than 5 inches.
