Mounting a tire in back of coach above rear bumper will not be covered by insurance due to it causes too much extra damage if involved in any type of rear accident, regardless if your hit from rear or back into something, that's why there not mounted there anymore.
Sir,
If it's what I think, a tiny winch located under the coach to lift and hold a spare tire, you can get those at any wrecking yard that handles trucks, pickups that is. I've mounted several of them over the years. I think you're looking at oh, maybe around $20.00 or so for a good one. They don't get used all that often so, just about all of them are good. You may have to do a tad bit of adapting to make it fit but, it's better than spending whatever the factory wants for that same part, I guaranty it.
Good luck
Scott
