Need new spare tire carrier whinch

The spare tire carrier winch of my 2002 Hurricane on a Ford e 53 chassis has gone south. I went up and down ebay and craigslist but could not find a replacement for it.
Can you guys give me an idea where I could find one without taking a loan out on the motorhome?
  • yep, take a digital pix of it and then hit the junk yards. Look for ford 3/4 or 1 ton trucks. I just hate it when my spare tire drags down the freeway sparking and bouncing around.
  • 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
