Question:

Would the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers system work for a receiver mounted spare tire carrier and spare tire if the combined weight of these items was less that 100 lbs ? Im looking for a way to get the spare tire off of the rear bumper of my travel trailer and I thought this might be an option. I have a weight distributing hitch system and 2 - 30lb propane bottles on the tongue and this looks like it would mount behind the brackets for the WDH system and then clear the top of the propane bottles. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk, # CC-275 for a spare tire carrier, but instead of attaching a bike rack to the 2" receiver you use the etrailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for 2" hitches, # e98ZR is a viable option.

It sounds as if you have ruled out the following type spare tire carriers will working for your needs. But just incase, I will list out a few options to consider. The Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue, # DM15851-76 in black. Or, the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue - Silver, # DM15851-52. But if is currently mount
