Store Your Spare Tire Underneath Your RV Without A Hassle!
"I moved the spare tire to the undercarriage of my 5th wheel trailer from the rear bumper. The build quality is excellent and gives the confidence to suspend a spare tire, just like a factory vehicle spare tire carrier. Well done!” - Vincent A.

❗️REMINDERS❗️
- Hardware is NOT INCLUDED
- DO NOT use a power drill or impact wrench to operate the winch extension and DO NOT continue to rotate the winch extension after the tire is in its proper position. (Use of power tools and overextension of the winch can damage the winch or its cable, which could result in the spare tire dropping away from its stowed position.)
- Maintain tension on the winch cable during the rewinding of the winch. Failure to do so may cause the winch cable to slack and unwind during transport.
