- Where do you have your spare tire?

My
Fiber Stream has 12" wheels; total diameter of wheel and tire is about 25".
When I bought it, a previous owner had made a cargo hatch under the starboard (right, or curbside) bunk; 9" tall by 27" wide.
This was a perfect size to put the spare tire inside, under the bunk.
My tongue
weight was only 7% though. In order to increase it to 10% and open up space in that cargo compartment,
(I like to call it "the basement") I moved the spare to underneath the tongue, using
a simple spare tire bracket.
This works well because of my "flipped" leaf spring suspension, gaining ground clearance.
