Pilote P740 - Spare Wheel

[DumfriesDik]

I have a nice new spare wheel and tyre in the garage of the motorhome taking up valuable space, and it is a lump to move around. I have seen various 'cages' for it to be underslung. Has anyone done this? Thoughts and comments gratefully received on this. I wonder how viable it is?

It will be a good few years back but someone on here posted pics of a homemade carrier for under the van, have you checked the original isn’t still there and the last owners just preferred to keep it in the garage.

Here's a couple of threads to have a look at.

Spare wheel carrier

Hi, I've just joined the Funsters and look forward to a long association. I have a '07 Ducato based Lunar H601 and I'm sure this question has been asked before. It never had a spare wheel so I bought one last year and would like to fit a carrier to the chassis to get it out of the small locker...

Thanks guys! I didn't think I would be the first.

I've done a spare wheel storage on a chausson recently..
The plan was to make a cage and undersling...there was only one place available and that was under the garage on the overhang..
I measured up and thought it would be tight for ground clearance but decided to go ahead..the depth of spare wheel is likely to be 10 or 11 inches minimum...
Anyway I'll cut a long boring story short..there wasn't the safe clearance and I ended up still mounting under the garage but having to let it up into the garage floor by about 5 inches..in other words a much bigger job than I had first intended

Ps..I think it was in the thread .. "what have you fixed on your motorhome " that I posted some photos..
