I'm considering getting a spare for our Chevy based 24' Sunseeker as well. There is limited, but usable space under the tank where the spare is normally mounted.
If we do go with a bumper mount, I'd certainly build one so it attaches to the bumper mounting brackets & bolts on the frame rails, then when the spare is in place, it would rest on top of the bumper. The bracket would not use the square wall bumper as a mount.
It certainly would be a custom welding job, for sure. The simple, and perhaps more economical approach would be the receiver mount version.
Yet, I've never had a flat on any of our RVs over the years. I am somewhat prepared, however, as I carry a small compressor and a tire puncture kit in the event I pick up a nail or screw. Still, I'd rather have a spare.....
