I installed a BAL Spare Tire Rack today on my 2017 Coleman 300tq Toy Hauler.
I ordered it off of Amazon and was glad to see that it was shipped in a box some reviews from different supplier had shipped them open with missing parts.
I have areas under my Toy Hauler that have exposed I Beam and parts where the I Beam is completely covered. It makes a difference on what model you order. I ordered model 28217 for open I Beam. I used a floor jack to position and center the Rack for mounting support plates.
Pivot side support plate
Support Plate Handle side
The bolts to fasten the support plates are not provided. I used 5/16" x 1" with flat and lock washers. Self tapping bolts can also be used. Before drilling make sure no wires or gas lines are running along the I Beam.
Square rack between the cross beams. When measuring take care support plates are two different sizes.
When removing the spare the rack drops down and telescopes out so you can reach the spare.
Locked in up posistion
Tucked up out of the way can hardly be seen.
