Spare Tire....How many of you carry one?

I have a spare but it is heavy. I need to weigh it but probably around 70#. I have to carry it in a storage compartment and it takes up quite a bit of space.

I know having a spare tire is essential if a flat tire happens, but.......

That being said, in my Class C, GVWR is at a premium. I'd rather have that 70# be used for other items.

I also don't like to have to carry it in one of my storage compartments. Its big bulky, and awkward to lift.

How many of you carry a spare?

Where is it carried?

Have any of you built a spare tire carrier UNDER the rear of your Class C?

    Winnebago supplied one with my MH. It is mounted at the rear of the large rear storage bay at the rear of the MH, out of the way. If I ever have to use it, I will have to completely empty that bay, but that is not a problem.
  • Mine is attached to an OEM mount on the rear of the RV. That would otherwise be waste space.
