This universal-fit tire carrier from Stromberg Carlson boasts superior strength and is an excellent tool for all travelers.This mounted on our trailer bumper just fine. It has 2 bolts, one in the center and one that goes through one of the lug nut holes in the wheel. The lug nut hole location works fine and can be tightened properly. The center one has a thin metal cross bar that bends easily. I tossed that and replaced it with a wooden block that fits in the center of the wheel. That works great and can be tightened.
Easy installation. I painted my mounting bolt to improve look. Good product for the price. The only improvements to this would be nut caps and maybe a rubber backing to the center mounting plate to prevent scratching spare wheel. I still would recommend.
I was not pleased by this purchase and/or equipment.
This may just be an outlier - I have used eTrailer in the past for purchases and I was usually happy. This box was damaged, parts were loose in the box. The square "u-bolts" did not fit my trailer. I am attempting to rig the spare tire carrier with alternate parts.
Perfect replacement for a damaged original. Went on quick and easy with minimal effort. Well built.
Your product works well for what it's made for. Unfortunately the trailer bumper is not very strong so there's a lot of movement when in use. No fault of your product.
The order showed up at our post office with a postage due of over $[XX]. The package was very beat up, and a corner torn open. The tire mount was in good shape and all parts appear to be there.
Package arrived on time. The box had a small tear on top, but there was no damage to the product. Installation was pretty straightforward, which is great for someone like me.
Super easy installation. Honestly I didn't think it would be as sturdy as it is. -but it definitely is. Holds my 225/75 R15 spare nice and solid. I added the heat-shrink tubing to the U bracket and the rubber thread caps.

Its been a year and it still looks the same as it did when I bought it. The tire hasnt moved with over 2000 miles of traveling.
The original Casita spare tire carrier is poorly designed and placed. The Stromberg Carlson Spare Tire Carrier is exactly what I was looking for...secure, simple/easy install.

GR8! Still right where I put it. Check the nuts on a regular basis.
Photo shows spare tire mounted with the bumper mounted u-bolt mount TR-1 tire carrier we purchased from etrailer. Easy install and holds tire firmly, eliminates hauling spare in pickup box.
Fits great, it got my spare tire higher and that's what I needed
Thanks
Rec'd the spare tire mount today and mounted it on the rear bumper of our travel trailer in minutes. Looks great and seems that it will be stronger than the ones I saw on [online]. Most of them got bad reviews due to the metal bending or welds breaking. A lot of them had the square tubing welded at a 45 degree angle from the bumper plate. In my opinion, this puts the weight of the tire out away from the bumper mounting plate, thus more stress on the welds.
This one has the square tubing that is vertical and should put the majority of the spare tire weight closer to the bumper where it should be. I cut pieces of rubber tubing and put on the U bolts so they wouldn't wear on the bumper and rust it. Although, if the spare tire mounts shifts around to the point where the U bolts wear off the paint and rusts the bumper, I've got bigger probs than rust.
I also made a cable with a lock to secure the spare tire. I don't care if the tire gets stolen. I made it so I could just join the ends of the cable together with a lock. We pull our travel trailer 400 miles up to Lake Superior 4 or 5 times a year. The cable and lock is just to make sure should something happen to the mount, the tire stays with the trailer. It's interstate all of the up to Duluth for us and we go through Minneapolis. The last thing we need is the spare tire coming off and bouncing across 8 lanes of traffic at rush hour.
One minor thing: there is a little rust on one of the welds where it looks like the powder coat didn't take. No biggie. It just holds your spare tire, for Pete's sake. Other than that, I'm as happy as a clam.

If you are starting to experience rust, we do recommend covering any types of scratches or scrapes with a rust-oleum type of paint. This will prevent the carrier from experiencing any further corrosion. I have a link below for your reference.

Spare tire carrier still looks new and is solid as a rock.im very pleased with it. Thank you.
I had to replace my original spare tire mount due to it developing a crack completely across one of the mounting lug holes. This replacement mount bolted right up to my 4 inch square rear bumper just like the original did. I had it done in about 20 minutes. I replaced it on a Rockwood 2503S Mini Lite which has 14 inch tires and 5 hole wheels. I can’t give an opinion on its durability because I haven’t taken it on the road yet. Only after bouncing down the road for a while will I know how durable it is, but it looks and feels sturdy.
Above average, very rigid, will work well for my application.
