Rear Spare Tire Options for Opening Both Doors on a Roadtrek 190

[Deano-ClassB]

I am still debating what to do with storing more stuff! I have just taken our first road trip in our 2012
190 Poplar and just packed as if I was on a long hike. So far, I do not need to add more stuff to it
unless I plan on driving across county and want a couple of chairs, table in case of rain, etc.
As far as the tire lifting easily, I found a Yout Tube video on how to loosen the nut holding the rear tire
and can now lift it or lower it with two fingers. Still trying to decide if the Stowaway solution is worth is
as you can only open the right rear door 75% with it.

Link to the u-tube video please.

We have a 2012-190. We bought our stowaway several years ago to store our two fold-up ORU kayaks, to minimize the volume of onboard stuff and also to make certain items, e.g. our portable induction hotplate, more easily accessible on-site. The 75% door opening limitation has not been a concern. One comment … backing up the van is trickier.
In conclusion, we will now not travel without it.
