R/T spare tire carrier - fit on Pleasure-Way?
The Roadtrek spare tire carrier is genius, it can flip down and become a table- and it keeps the weight of the spare off the rear door. It appears to mount off of the frame Great, so I have a Plea...

yes, spare on door- but I am concerned about the weight being carried on the hinges, there are also rattles transferred thru the door while driving.
I am pretty handy and have checked the door strikes and all seems good.
I like the idea of that weight being carried on the frame.
And looks to me that a lowered spare could be a good platform for a gas grill- the propane tank is right there.
New to the PW, so taking these thoughts to the hive...more experience
Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike,
Guess we're opposite: I have an 09/10 Roadtrek 190P, and have been giving some thought to converting to an "on-door" spare tire carrier. I know that GM discourages this and I've heard that PW warrantees the door hinges because GM won't. As for the rattles, wow, what doesn't rattle on a truck based camper van, and how can you tell it's from that door?
Maybe we should swap doors, hitches, and spare tire carriers. : )
Regards, Dick
