Question:

Hello Will either one of these dual hitch set up work with a spare tire carrier? I am looking to mount a spare tire on my Class C RV and wondered if the dual hitch is rated for the weight and torque the spare tire will put on the accessory. I was looking to combine it with the Drawtite spare tire carrier # 6715 I would also be using it to tow my 7x14 enclosed trailer. I did look at the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2inch Receiver Opening - 2inch Hitches, Item # RM-195225 But with the price tag that this carrier is carrying i can not justify spending that at this time and was looking for a more affordable option. Thank you

The best solution we have would be the Curt dual hitch adapter part # D210 which has a hitch opening on top that you can use for the Draw Tite hitch carrier part # 6715 and a ball mount platform on the bottom that you could use for towing your trailer.

As long as you are within the capacities of the adapter you'd be fine. The ball mount has a trailer towing capacity of 7,500 lbs and the hitch opening has a capacity of 500 lbs tongue weight.

The Roadmaster adapter you mentioned can not be used when towing a trailer.
