Anybody besides me carry 2 spare tires, and if so how do you carry the second one (on a pick-up with a camper mounted)?
(I searched for this topic, but didn't find any...please point me to it if it's been well covered already.)
I usually bring a second spare tire when I'll be traveling in remote areas on gravel roads -- roads with sharp rocks that can pierce tires a long way from flat-fixing facilities (I've actually had double-flats 3 times in the past 20 years).
Ever since I got the camper I've been hefting the second spare in and out of the back of my camper...and I've gotten tired of that inconvenience.
I'm looking for a way to mount/carry the spare that will not be in the way at all for getting in and out of the camper, etc -- something that will be able to stay in place when I'm camped as well as when traveling.
I know I've seen spare tires mounted on the front of trucks in front of the grill, more or less, and that seems like a way to go. Anybody do that, and if so how? Are there ready-made after-market mounts that work for Ford F250 (2000 vintage)?
Or???
Thanks for suggestions...or pointing to me to an existing thread if already answered.
