Hi
Thank you for the photos of your spare Tire solution. Trying to understand I have Few questions:
1. The metal frame you designed, is welded to the chassis ??
2. How do you maneuver heavy tire up and down as it is quite heavy.
Thank you.

I do not want to be welding under the RV so is bolted in. There is a lip on the front cross member that it sits on and is bolted. The thickness of the material on the rear cross piece is fairly thin so definitely do not want to weld on that.
In the driveway I maneuver the tire with some wood and a floor jack. I am looking for something to attach that one side of the tire can be set on and then lift the other end. Or some simple lift or lever. Keeping in mind I have not had to use a spare tire in years so not way up on the priority's list.
In the meantime I have ERS so will let someone younger than me do the heavy lifting.
