Space Saver Spare Wheel - just wondered if anyone has used one of these for a m/h. Cant find space for a normal spare wheel as dont have garage. Also, no space underneath due to box for leisure batteries. Paranoid about having no spare wheel.

Forget it. You won't find a space saver with adequate weight ratings.

If you want a spare then it will have to be a full sized one and you'll have to find somewhere to keep it.

Have you got a towbar? @musson made a bracket for his similar idea to a bike carrier with a single bar to carry the spare on his last van.

Thanks but no towbar, thinking of having word with blacksmith, see if we can come up with something underneath - wishful thinking maybe but worth a try.

Even if you sling it underneath how are you going to get it out? Having changed a wheel on a caravan with an underslung spare I know just how difficult it is to get it out, and a motorhome wheel is a lot heavier.

So what happens then, your breakdown service comes out with a new tyre?

There are mobile tyre fitters all over the place - we've used one when we haven't broken down and simply needed new tyres - they were the cheapest locally for two new tyres on my C4 (and a good make etc hence why Pete decided to use em) so they came to do those and we always check their prices now when looking for new uns on anything.

So - I imagine that's what happens, a mobile tyre fitting service arrives.

You can get a holder with winch for underneath your van if you have space for it @Techno is the man to speak to I believe he had one for sale a while ago
