Top in picture is a wheel carrier for a 16" 75 225 spare. This is the final Mark in a series of two, the first being on my own van.
£300 collect (Leeds) or own courier or £350 fitted.

The first owner of my Rapido 7090F searched high and low for a way of getting the spare wheel out of the garage and failed. When I bought this van it was one of my first improvements and this was completed by the end of March 2013 having bought the van Nov 2012. To my knowledge no one else had done this before although the idea has been copied since.

Andy, does this fit an Alko maxi chassis and if so where - towards the front or the back? Not sure if I have enough room for it with all the drop downs for tanks and storage places.

They are all different. You will have to get down and have a look and compare with my pictures
It goes pretty much in the middle i.e in front of the rear axle

Thanks Andy. I am away at the moment so will look at the motorhome when I get back. I have a feeling I have no room underneath - I know I can't fix a gas tank for that reason.

This winter Andy redesigns the alko chassis and builds it in his shed as he has nothing else to modify. Haha
