Hello Brion,
You could use the etrailer Hitch Mount Spare Tire Carrier - 2" Hitch # e98ZR on your Jayco Redhawk if you really wanted to, since it’s designed to fit into a 2" receiver and can handle an 8-lug wheel like yours. It will hold the tire securely, so technically it gets the job done. The downside is that # e98ZR doesn’t offer many of the features you’ll probably appreciate on a motorhome, it doesn’t tilt down, which means you’d have to lift that heavy LT225/75R16 spare into place, and it also takes up your hitch completely, so you can’t flat tow or carry another accessory at the same time.
The Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount with 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 really shines as the better choice. It’s built with motorhomes in mind, so it has the strength for larger RV wheels, and the tilting design lets you roll the tire on instead of trying to muscle it up, a huge back saver. On top of that, # RM-195225 includes a built-in 2" receiver, so you don’t lose the ability to tow or use a hitch accessory. In short, while # e98ZR will work and is definitely the more cost effective choice, but the # RM-195225 is going to make your life on the road a whole lot easier and give you peace of mind knowing it was made for exactly this kind of setup.
