Hey David! So long as your Aluminum Carry On trailer's tongue is no larger than 3" wide x 4" tall and you have a 5 lug wheel, the Tie Down Side-Mount Spare Tire Mount item # TD48FR is going to be your best option. This carrier 6" long x 6" wide x 13-1/2" tall and attaches to your trailer's tongue with included u-bolts. It is compatible with all 5 lug wheel patterns.
If your trailer's tongue is larger and you have a 6-lug wheel you'll want the Tie Down Spare Tire Mount item # TD86FR.
What size is your trailer's frame? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
