Question:

I need some kind of hitch extension or riser or other device that will allow me to carry my spare tire on the back of my motorhome but still allow me to open my Blue Ox. Do you have any device that will help?

Hey Jeff,

To be able to haul a spare tire and still be able to fold up your Blue Ox tow bar into the stowed position you'll need the Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount # RM-195125. The spare tire carrier has a release pin to pivot the tire down for easier loading/unloading that you'll need to utilize in order to be able to fold your tow bar up into the stowed position. The tire mount can hold all wheels with a lug nut circle up to 7". Use of this spare tire carrier reduces the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 33 percent.

I've attached a short video below where Adam will show you how this adapter functions.
