Video Transcript for Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer and RV Bumpers Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Ultra-Fab folding bumper-mounted spare tire carrier for trailers and RVs, part number UF15-954730. Our spare tire carrier is going to allow us to have a removable attachment point for our spare tire here on the bumper of our RV. Now by simply removing a pin and clip located here in the rear we're going to be able to fold this down and out of the way, giving us access into the rear of our RV. As you can see, we've got a heavy duty steel construction. Full welds go down the inside to secure everything in place and give us a nice firm connection point. They've also powder coated it to give us premium rust resistance and stand up to the test of time.
Not going to have to worry about it getting overly rusty or anything like that on you. Now the spare tire carrier's going to offer us a lot of applications that it's going to work for. Most of your five, six, and eight-lug wheels are going to go on here just fine whether they're the Kelsey-Hayes style or the Fayette-type. Now keep in mind this is not going to fit a five on five bolt pattern, so that's one exception to that rule. It offers a 60 pound weight capacity so even some of the larger, heavier duty tires are going to have no problem riding on our carrier. Now that we've gone over the features let's take a look at the how to get this installed. As you can see here on the back, we've got a small tab.
We're going to place that right on top of the bumper of the RV wherever we want to mount it. Then we're going to bring in our two u-bolts. We've got our four nuts and four lock washers spaced out here so we can get to them easily. We'll want to bring one of the u-bolts around the backside of our bumper, bring it through the plate and the two hole locations. Then we'll be sliding on a lock washer and a nut.
Once we have those two on there that will free up our hand. Bring our other u-bolt around, slide it through. Now we'll just use our ratchet or wrench, whatever you have handy, and tighten them four bolts down. Then we'll bring out our torque wrench and torque it down to specification. You just want to find that in your instructions there.
It will give you the torque specs on what you need to bring these two. Something that really sets the Ultra-Fab spare tire carrier apart from some of the others are the ability to use it in the fixed position as we've got it now, or we can switch out our bolt here for a pin and turn it into a folding configuration. Now to install our spare tire on our carrier we're going to place one of our lug holes through that top carriage bolt. The carriage bolt, all hardware is provided so you're going to have your lug nut here that will match up to it. Then we'll bring in our black plate. That's going to go over the bottom bolt and then a lug not on there as well. Then we'll just tighten these down. That will complete today's look at the Ultra-Fab folding spare tire carrier, part number UF15-954730. .

This fits our needs perfectly. Easy to mount on our camp trailer 4" bumper. We could not find a better solution to get our spare tire out from under the trailer if we had a flat. This gives us easy access to check the tire air pressure at all times and no hassle in getting to it on muddy,wet, or bad road conditions.This still leaves room to add a cargo carrier if we want to. I recommend this to anyone who travels and camps. Daniel 656971

I recently bought a spare tire carrier for my camper from etrailer and I can say it was a pleasant experience arrived sooner than expected due to Bryan’s shipping up grade. The packaging was well done and it was in perfect shape. Now here is the crazy part it is no longer a spare tire carrier I am a ham radio operator and use my gear while camping in the middle of nowhere. It was just what I needed to make the mount for my 24’ fiberglass antenna tower. I cut it down and welded a pipe to it now my fiberglass pipes fit inside and I can just walk the portable tower up and pin it in place. 126227

Installed quickly and easily using basic hand tools. I followed the directions and torqued the nuts on the u-bolts to 30 lb ft, which ended up bending the corners of the mounting flanges. I'm using this to hold a 205/75R14 spare tire, and I hope that the rest of the mount will hold up with use. First chance I get, I will be pulling this off, hammering the flange corners back flat, and welding on an additional piece of plate to strengthen the flange. 712043

The product is able to hold the weight of our spare tire but the design puts too much stress on the bumper of our Minnie Winnie. With the extension of on the carrier and spare tire rim, the weight of the tire pulls away from the motorhome and puts stress on the bumper. I strongly discourage this for a Class C motorhome. 786569

Ask the Experts about this Ultra-Fab Products Spare Tire Carrier
- Spare Tire Carrier that Can Fit 4 inch Trailer BumperWe have spare carriers like the part # UF15-954730 which were designed specifically to attach to a 4 inch RV bumper which would be my first pick for your application but since the # DM15851-76 was also designed to attach to a 4 inch by 4 inch metal channel there's no reason it wouldn't fit either. The Ultra Fab would have better clearance to your RV wall like you mentioned since it attaches behind the bumper and not on top. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.
view full answer... - Bumper Mount for RV that Can Fit 4 Bolt WheelI do have a solution for you but the part # UF15-954730 does not fit 4 bolt wheels. Instead we have the Brophy Rigid Mount Spare Tire Carrier # BR56VR which fits the same bumper size and is compatible with 4 bolt wheel patterns.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for 2018 Chevy Coachmen Freelander 27QBAccording to Ultra Fab, this carrier isn't compatible with wheels/tires from a Class C motorhome like your Freelander 27QB. The wheel and tire would just be too heavy. We do have a solution for you though! If your RV has a rear mounted hitch, you could use the # C31006. This is a universal carrier that will fit all wheel bolt patterns. In order for this to work, the hitch pin hole of your receiver can't be recessed under the rear of the vehicle by more than 9-1/2 inches. If you don't...
view full answer... - Can Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 be Mounted on a Trailer FrameYes, provided that the trailer frame is 4 inches square you could mount the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 on a trailer frame. Since your frame is smaller (the picture looks like you started measuring at the 1 inch mark on the tape which would make it 3-1/2 inches tall and 2 inches wide) you would need alternate u-bolts and would have to modify the carrier for the alternate u-bolts. I have no doubt that the frame will handle the spare tire without any issues.

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for Winnebago Minnie Winnie When Flat Towing Jeep The Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 referenced in your question is designed to clamp onto 4 inch wide box bumpers. If this is what you have on your Winnebago Minnie Winnie, then this should work nicely and you shouldn't have any clearance issues when flat towing your Jeep. The carrier can be positioned along the rear bumper to avoid any interference with the tow bar and it's not going to extend past the bumper much more than the width of your spare tire. Just keep...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for Rear of RV that Does Not Use HitchMost likely you have a 4 inch square bumper at the rear of your Class A RV. With that you can use the Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730. I attached a picture that shows the rack being used to carry a wheel on an RV.

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for 2015 Thor Vegas 25.5 RV with 9 x 4-Inch Rear BumperI reviewed photos of your 2015 Thor Vegas motorhome and I do see the unusual 9 x 4-inch rear bumper you referenced. We do not have bumper-mount spare tire carriers that will fit this large bumper but I did note that it appears the Thor comes with a 2-inch hitch receiver. If yours has a 2-inch hitch then a good option for carrying your spare tire is a hitch-mount carrier like those shown on the linked page. If you still need to use your hitch for towing a boat trailer or for a hitch bike...
view full answer... - How to Determine the Bolt Pattern on a Trailer Wheel for Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Spare Tire CarrierThe 5 on 5 wheel that you are referring to is a wheel that has 5 bolt holes for lug nut studs and a 5 inch diameter bolt circle. A 5 on 5 bolt pattern is not a common bolt pattern for trailer wheels. You can do some measuring to determine the bolt pattern of your wheel. If you have 5 bolt holes on your wheel, then you can measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the adjacent bolt hole. If this measurement is 3 inches, then you have a 5 on 5 wheel. If this measurement...

- Trailer Spare Tire Carrier That Fits 5-on-4-3/4-Inch Wheel Bolt PatternYour 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheel bolt pattern is fairly uncommon these days and most of our trailer-mount spare tire carriers do not work with this pattern. None of the CE Smith carriers will work but my contact at Ultra-Fab said that their # UF15-954730 bumper-mount carrier WILL work with your 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheels. Since this unit uses a rectangular plate to secure the wheel at the pilot hole the fit is not super-sensitive to the slight difference in hole spacing between a 5-on-4-1/2 wheel...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for Dually Style Wheel with 225/75R16 MountedAs long as your dual wheel and tire weighs less than 60 lbs the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 will work. Only issue I foresee is that most dually style wheels and tires do weigh more than 60 lbs. This is designed to fit a 4 inch square bumper like yours as long as it's a totally boxed frame.
view full answer... - Weight of Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier UF15-954730Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 weighs about 9-lbs. The shipping weight including the packaging materials is 10-lbs. This tire carrier fits 4-inch rear box-style bumpers and it holds most standard automotive and camper tires. It is safe to use with a spare wheel/tire that weighs up to 60-lbs. It also folds as shown in the linked photo.

- Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Lance TrailerThe bumper mounted spare tire carriers like the part # UF15-954730 are designed to fit 4 inch by 4 inch square bumpers that are continuously welded. Check out the picture I attached that shows this carrier mounted to the style of bumper it is compatible with it. When you said you have a flat bumper I am assuming this is what you meant.

- Options for Carrying Trailer Spare Tire at Trailer Bumper and Higher Off Ground I have a solution that may work for you, but unfortunately we do not have any bumper mount spare tire carriers that are taller than 18-1/8 inches tall. The solution I have for you to carry your spare tire on the rear of your camper and higher off the ground is to use a bumper mounted hitch receiver, such as # UF35-946402 that sits on top of your camper's bumper, and the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # C31006. This spare tire carrier will install in the hitch receiver...
view full answer... - Like Replacement for Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier TR-1The Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs part # UF15-954730 is virtually identical to the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier part # TR-1. They both fit the same size wheel and will also both fit the same size bumper so they will be a great replacement or alternative option for one another.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Thor Chateau MotorcoachAs long as the rear bumper of your 2014 Thor Chateau Motorcoach has a 4 inch by 4 inch bumper that is confirmed to be able to carry weight the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 would work well for you. I did a little research and it looks like you do have a 4 inch bumper, but I would still recommend you confirm this. I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for RV BumperSounds like you would want to use a bumper mounted spare tire carrier like the part # UF15-954730. As long as you have a 4 inch by 4 inch square bumper at the rear of your 2010 E-350 Cutaway this carrier would work well for you.
view full answer... - Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Recommendations for a 1995 Coleman Utah Pop-up CamperA lot depends on the wheel bolt pattern of your spare tire and the frame size of the trailer. I have included a link to an FAQ article on measuring for bolt pattern for you. If you have a frame that is up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high, AND you have a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch or larger wheels, go with the Fulton carrier, # FSTC1000301. For 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels (except 5 on 5 bolt pattern) and wheels up to 16-1/2 inches in diameter with a trailer frame up to...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier For Eight Lug WheelYes, the carrier I would suggest is the Ultra Fab # UF15-954730 which is compatible with 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels. It's a bumper-mounted carrier and you should be able to fit two on your trailer. If you haven't already done so, it would be wise to invest in covers to protect those tires and wheels until you need them. Adco's black spare tire cover # 290-1733 are a great fit for your ST235/85R16 tires.
view full answer... - Fabricating Spare Tire Carrier for Vintage Style Trailer WheelFor a 15-inch vintage style 4-lug trailer wheel like # AM20395 or # AM20501 that has a wide 9.44-inch hole spacing you'll need to get creative to make a spare tire carrier since there we have no off-the-shelf solution. A cost-effective method is to use a simple u-shaped part like # CE22011Z-11050-2 (12-1/4-inches) or # CE22007Z-11050-2 (8-3/4-inches long) along with preferable a steel plate or disk large enough to full most of the inside space on the wheel's mounting surface.

- Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Square 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 Inch BumperNone of the direct to bumper mount spare tire carriers we offer will work with your 4-1/2 inch square bumper, but I do have a solution for you. If your bumper is continuously welded steel tube, your best bet would be to use a bolt on receiver like # S64025 in conjunction with a receiver mounted spare tire carrier like the # c31006. I've linked to demonstration videos for the bolt on receiver and the tire carrier I recommended above.

You will need to have a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper for the spare tire carrier # UF15-954730. We have found that the tire alone weighs 77 pounds so this carrier is not going to work for you. If the motor home has a trailer hitch, you could use the Curt spare tire carrier # c31006. This carrier does not have an official capacity but can...

If your 2006 Ford F 450 Class C motor home has a 4 inch wide box bumper, then this spare tire carrier will fit. Keep in mind that the weight capacity for this spare tire carrier is 70 lbs. If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch on your motor home, then you could also look into the Curt Spare Tire Carrier, # C31006. The weight capacity for this spare tire carrier is 85 lbs.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 6 Lug Wheel on 4 inch BumperThe Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730 is designed to fit 4 inch bumpers like what you have and can fit 6 lug wheels as well. This would be a great option. In terms of tire cracking it would be about the same exposure to the sun and elements as the tires on the trailer so it really wouldn't be any better or worse. You could always install the spare tire cover part # # 052963751604 on the spare to protect it from the sun.
