WTB: Roadtrek Spare Tire Carrier

[jwd673]

Wanted: Roadtrek Spare Tire Carrier that mounts in the rear 2" receiver hitch. I don't need the spare tire, just the holder and tire cover. Located in NH.

Good luck, I ended up with a DIY, parts from Amazon and from the "parts bin"

I have the metal rim and tire cover for sale that were originally mounted on a 07C210P. I do not have for sale the metal bar that the wheel fastendss to and slides into the hitch receiver. If interested, PM me if possible, or reply here for more info. It is located in Louisiana, long way from NH.

Keep looking in RT Facebook groups and other forums. We have ours still on the Sprinter but I have read about a number of people taking them off. It would be cray expensive to buy new from Mobilife in Canada.

This info relates to the photos in my previous post. Parts, cutting, drilling and welding cost about $200. Not beautiful, but functional....remember that some of the factory racks like this have counter springs to help lift the wheel, this relies on a fairly heavy lift.

I bought a receiver tilt mechanism from Amazon, the part which tilts will hold a 2 x 2 steel bar, this bar was from my parts "bin"

I wanted the spare to be located above the bumper and tucked in close to the door, closer than the old door mounted mount, so I inserted the bar into the tilt mechanism, and measured the distance to the lug nut holes in the wheel and had the bar drilled 5/8 to mount the tire, in this case two holes.

I needed a receiver extender so the 2 x 2 bar would be the correct distance from the back door, in this case I needed to shorten and drill new mount holes in the tilt mechanism so it could be secured closer to the back door.

I also added a second receiver to the hitch so that I could continue to use a bike rack mounted in the center, the bar on the hitch which this is mounted to is on an angle, so it offered me about an inch to adjust the receiver fore and aft to help adjust the the distance the tire is from the back door.

I added this tilt mechanism

This is the extra receiver I used which is mounted to the existing hitch

This is the receiver extender, there are a bunch out there, but this is one of the shorter ones
