Hello, I need bike storage and think I have a solution but need to move the spare from the bumper. Is it standard on any campers or has anyone modified theirs to mount underneath the camper? Not sure if I would hinge it or set it up on a crank like the spare on the burb.
Any ideas before I start from scratch?
Thank you,
Brian

I picked up a tire hoist to match my vehicle from a scrap yard. I used 1" square tubing and made a T shaped frame and welded it behind the rear axle. I drilled a access hole through the frame for the crank handle.

same answer as coolbreeze Komfort mounted the spare underneath my 21T . cranks down just like my gmc pickup i use a bike rack on the back to carry folding chairs .
I did the same thing for a bike rack. I just took off my bumper mount and fastened it to the frame underneath. Worked real good except for going in out of some campgrounds and service stations with large dips in the entry. I had to take mine off because it dragged and was rubbing the tire. Perhaps it would have worked if I mounted it closer to the axles. However it would have been a pain to get the tire off if it was needed.
So I gave up on the bikes and put the tire back in it original position. Sorry not much help but maybe you can gain from my experience.
