Hi Philip,

The Tie Down Spare Tire Mount part # TD96FR is meant to be mounted on structural I-beams or the frame of a trailer, it's not suitable for use on a motorhome bumper.

We don't have any options for a Class C motorhome bumper because the wheels for Class A and C motorhomes are too heavy to be mounted on a carrier attached to the bumper. Our best option is a hitch mounted spare tire carrier, like the Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount with 2" Receiver Opening part # RM-195225. The Roadmaster spare tire mount fits 16" to 24 1/2" wheels and is compatible with all wheel bolt patterns. Even though its hitch mounted, the tire mount has its own 2" hitch receiver so you can still flat tow (up to 10,000lbs) or carry other accessories in the hitch.

Do you tow anything behind your motorhome or use it for any accessories currently?

We purchased the Roadmaster spare tire mount for our Motorhome just prior to an eleven-week trip to Alaska. We were able to mount our e-bikes behind the spare tire. Worked great! 12,500 miles and fortunately never needed the spare, but the peace of mind was worth the price!

@DavidP I'm happy to hear the Roadmaster tire mount worked well for your trip! Eleven weeks in Alaska sounds incredible! Did you travel around Alaska or mostly stay in one area?

@DavidP Oh man not the windshield! Hopefully they have SafeLite up there and can come to you to replace it. Did you have any favorite spots from your travels?
