It's a 2010 if my memory serves me correctly. I agree it is alot of weight. The tire carrier is 101 lbs, so maybe I could find a lighter solution and just have the weight of the tire. I'm guessing rim and tire are around 90. Im sure I've searched about putting it on the roof, but can't remember what was said about that. The big problems I see with the tire on the roof is mounting it and retrieving it. Plus the weight of it on the roof can't help with the already top heavy characteristics of the camper itself. Im pouring over google now trying to find solutions.
