2007ish Allegro Spare Mount?

Thanks,

I like that RoadMaster solution.

It solves two problems: 1. Where to put it? 2. How is a normal human going to put it on and off the holder?

I will just leave that existing bracket hidden behind my rear cap alone. Maybe I will remove it because similar to this solution it subtracts from your allowed tougne weight.

Might consider one of these:

My spare is in a compartment above the propane tank but I am considering one of these to facilitate a change in weight distribution. My problem is that my gas filler is in the center in the back.

Well I'm no genius when it comes to these things, but I have an off the wall idea: how about putting it on the roof? I mean, you never know it could work.

Thanks for the input.

rockylarson,

You have a different rear cap in 2004. Perhaps by 2007 Tiffin had already abandon the idea of spare tires.

Doug,

Yes, the tag is to the left. I have no intention of changing a flat myself. I use Coach-Net, they say:

"24/7 Flat Tire Assistance - changing of your vehicle's flat tire using the vehicle's mounted and inflated spare tire, or if you do not have a functional tire, your vehicle will be towed to a tire repair facility"

I'm new to class A's and I am willing to learn, but my current thinking is that if I don't have a mounted, inflated spare that I am turning what is an inconvenience taking several hours into at best a day-long ordeal with the added risks of towing.

You are correct about having a capable tire holder. There is a lot of stress at the rear of a coach. That is why I want to know if Tiffin designed this or if it is just an attempt at a bike rack by a previous owner. If this is not the foundation for a legitimate spare rack, perhaps I could use a small receiver extension rack designed to hold a spare since I am only flat towing a Jeep?

Are F53 wheels similar to my F350 where the same spare can be used on the front and the rear, just turned around?

thanks,
fred

That access panel is NOT for a spare tire. I believe it is to access the fresh water tank, if you have to service it. Also, Tiffin did not sell such a part, but if you look at the whole system you have, odds are if you attempted to mount a spare tire to that bracket, you would probably crack/break that rear fiberglass cap and that access panel. Also, unless your photo does not show it, WHERE is the License Plate holder? To the left of the Fuel fill cap? Have you ever changed a Motorhome spare tire by yourself? It is almost impossible to do with hand tools. Breaking the lug nuts is hard even with air tools. But, most people just buy the rubber tire for a spare and that is easier to store inside the storage. That way if you do have a flat and the rubber is ruined, you have a tire for the road service to mount. Doug

This isn't my unit. Mine is a little more beat up after 90,000miles.
But at 1 minute and 36 seconds into the video you can see how my spare is attached.
Good Luck.
