Alternatives to lack of storage space

I tow a small Kendon motorcycle trailer, bike and trailer weigh 900#, behind my 24' Class C and it tows like a dream {8,000+miles this year alone}. Not only can I not see it, I can't even to begin to feel it back there. When it is time to backup {which I generally avoid where possible}, it is a PITA being a short single axle trailer but still quite doable. I put a set of Maxxis' on it, never exceed their 65 mph rating and carry a spare {13"}, for the trailer in my storage bay and have always carried all of the tools necessary to change either a coach or trailer tire.
The rear camera gives me a great view of the trailer when in reverse but being an older/simpler camera it does not display while driving down the road. If I did not enjoy riding my Harley so much I probably would not pull any trailer as it robs me of the 24' overall length that we sought when buying our Class C and leaves us at just under 35'.
I had Nexus weld a custom spare tire mount up under the rear overhang of the coach and this has worked very well. The rear bumper is a poor location to bolt anything on and your hitch receiver isn't much better for a large load. You are correct in not wanting to travel without a spare, just asking for trouble.
