I went out to YouTube and pulled up a couple videos on your camper to help understand how that tire is mounted to your camper. When I saw the videos I undrstood .... yikes! I thought mounting spare tires on bumper was daunting, but seeing yours is just hanging on the wall, dangling with no other support .... yikes!
We each do it our own way, but I removed my spare tire from my previous travel trailer bumper mounts and carried them in the back of the pick-up truck bed and kept the weight off the bumper. I did this with all 3 of my different travel trailers.
But your's looks even weaker than that. Nice fix you did there. Hopefully this will work well for you. Yes, check often.
