LittleShack Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Thanks in advance to any and all who can offer some suggestions. I have a brand new spare tire mounted on the back of my Itasca. It is mounted on the stuff carrier, not the bumper. Problem is, I want to put a storage box in the carrier to store things in but the tire is in the way. It takes up room in the carrier. I know some models came with the tires mounted underneath the RV. I've checked under mine and there is nothing there. But, there is room to add one. I'm asking for ideas and suggestions on where to go, what to ask for, where to add it, and if it will work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I remounted my spare to the original mounting point. Look at the frame to either side and you will find a removable rubber grommet. This is where I ran the original spare wheel lowering rod. Had to cut and shorten the rod, put it back together with cotter pins so if I had to ever remove it I could. Ran the rod to the passenger side and now can lower the spare using the original lowering handle. I did have to relocate the propane lines. I chose to remount the spare wheel because I installed a larger poop tank, original was 12 gallons now have a 22 gallon tank. The last two pictures are of the completed mod.
