Access to Ford spare tire

We have a Lance 1025 on a Ford F350. The spare tire is mounted under the truck bed. To remove it, you insert a crank and lower the tire. However, with the camper on, the crank socket is inaccessible. Does anyone know of a way to get at the spare without raising the camper off the truck?
  • IMHO...if you have a flat you should raise up the camper anyway. Unless you carry a 4-5 ton jack, the factory bottle jack won't lift your truck/camper safely...
