Have any of you mounted a spare tire on your Aluma trailer? If so , where did you mount it, hitch? side?, etc? Photos??

Don’t know what model trailer you have but on my 7712 I bought the vertical mount from them. Page 15 https://www.alumaklm.com/customer-support/product-literature/262-spare-tire-guide/file

Mine's mounted on the hitch with a u-bolt from the trailer dealer. I added some rubber shower pan liner between the bolt and the aluminum. It lays flat. I'll try to get a picture next time I walk past it. It kind of makes the tongue heavy when your moving it around by hand but no big deal.

Mine is a 7812ES-A, that looks like a good setup. I'm a little concerned about tongue weight, as my spare has a steel rim, but Farmer says his is manageable. I wonder what the difference in weight is between a steel and aluminum spare?

My spare is steel. It definitely does add some tongue weight. I have a tongue jack with a wheel so it is easy to move around by hand.

I've done a couple Aluma's

Right stake pocket ( when backing up Better see that side of Trailter )

1 Behind Right fender ( 8218 Power Tilt ) helps take a little Tung Weight Off.

1 in in Front of Right Fender ( 7818 with Ramps )

Both Home Made Mounting Bracket to fit in Stake Porcket & Hold Tire / Wheel.

I like that Aluma vertical spare mount.

Outsider here with a 10ft Featherlite trailer bought long time before the P1K5 came along. Would like to have 12 ft or 16 ft now.



I have a cheap u-bolt style and put it on the side. I can still use my side pockets for the side rails when needed.
