As weather has been crap lately (very long time now).
Just sorting out a few bits and tidy up areas.
Whats the best way of securing the spare wheel in your garage do they make a bracket to mount on one of the walls?
Thanks
Jim

since 2007, 25 years tuggin before that.
Mine was on a bracket on the rear wall but I took it off.
A / Because there was no way it would stay there in an accident & would have done a lot of damage as it broke free.
B / Because with it flat on the garage floor I can move it from side to side so that it is always on the kerb side.

Since 2005 this time
I took mine off the frame underneath and put it in the Garage, just laid it flat on the floor, on a piece of carpet, and screwed a batton in front to stop it sliding around, because,
A I didn't want to go grovling around underneath and
B, I don't expect any Recovery Fella to do that either

It's a real pain to even lower the bloody thing to the ground, let alone get the damn thing out from under:Angry:

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
This is how I secured the spare wheel for our previous Chausson MH, it kept the weight in the centre of the van and never moved a millimetre!

We didn't have a spare wheel when i purchased the MH.

It's Transit based so has 6 wheels (all the same) so i thought a spare was essential. I sourced a spare from ebay (never used but not new, a spare from a MH) made a bracket and mounting, its solid as a rock and looks the part :thumb:
