Spare Wheel … How do you carry yours?

[Donk]

Thought I might as well waste even more money on another wheel and tyre to stick on the back.

Nice

That’s exactly where mine is as well. The space underneath was taken by the lpg tank.

Where did you get that ladder from? I like it for cleaning the solar.

 

[Donk]

The ladder and bike rack are both from Wheeliams. I painted them in black truck bed liner so they’ll match and also the ladder will have some nice grip when it’s wet.

I got my spare wheel carrier from them to, never knew they did a ladder as well. At the time they probably didn’t, but demand has pushed for new products.

 

[Donk]

Ladder had a long lead time when I ordered it. But really pleased with both.

Looks good, I’ve just ordered the wheeliams one as the lpg tank takes the room underneath and the wheel takes up a lot of room in the back. Have you got a locking wheel nut on the spare? I’m getting the steel wheels powder coated and will get the carrier done at the same, but wondered if I should lock it up on the carrier?

Mines underneath, no issues with the Autogas tank as it’s a LWB

 

[Littlemissvw]

Mines a LWB but the gas tank has a cover that faces the rear. This has the knob to turn the gas on/off with so I still need access to it unfortunately.

It is possible to move the spare wheel back 4 or 5 inches, you just need some nutserts and a drill. Did mine last weekend and took about1/2 hour. It’s what Propex do to make space for the same tank location. 4 x nutserts M8 required and use the original bolts

Unfortunately I don’t have the strength to do the nutserts! I’m happy doing these things and getting my hands grubby. I’ve ordered the wheel carrier so will stick with that I think. I guess this is for another thread, but I’d wanted to put some rails on the roof but because it’s converted I can’t access the inside holes, so thought nutserts would allow me to do that - but I’m not strong enough
