Does anyone out there know where to get a mounting for a spare tire under the tongue of the trailer. I don't want to mount mine to the rear bumper. I have seen some from a distance but not up close. How do you get the spare up and down?

If you do mount it under the tongue of the trailer you need some type of cover, as your tow vehicle will splash everything from the back wheels during inclement5 weather.

How would you hook up the WD bars? Wouldn't the bars hit the spare when you turn?

Just curious!!

My trailer came with the spare mounted under the tongue. It does not interfer with the WD bars. There is a speed wrech provided that slips onto a spool you just crank it up. The same or similar design as is on a pickup truck.
I thought my tire would hit the ground on steep driveways so I never used the carrier. I mounted it to the back bumper. I thought it easier to get to. So far I have not had the need.

I have since had the trailer height raised and will try mounting it under the tongue just to see how it goes. Thinking about an Alaska trip and plan to take an extra spair tire hopefully the tongue and rear bumber mounts can both be used.

I made mine out of a recycled GM truck spare tire carrier and mounted it under the a frame of the tongue.

I had one that had a bar under it and a hinge on one end. The other end was held up with a pin. Some debris from the road flew up and knocked the pin out. Fortunately, I heard it and stopped in time to avoid a big problem. If you go that route, be sure to get a pin you can secure in place.

I'm pretty sure mine would hit ground when traversing driveways and such. Are you sure you have enough ground clearance to do this?

My Heartland has it mounted under the tongue. Never had any issues. One thing to think about though is ground clearance. My TT is 22" to the bottom of the frame. I know some Heartland owners that have a lower profile TT have had some issues with the tire dragging. I don't know what type of TT you have so just throwing out some info.
