Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2005Spare tire?
Hmmm. I just bought a 2000 Kiwi 23c. I've been drooling over that particular design ever since they came out. I pick it up Tuesday evening. I'm sure i'll have many questions, but one that's got me going at the moment; where's the spare tire go? Mine apparently doesn't have one. I assume it's an option. /E Not sure about the Kiwi, but lots of trailers consider a spare to be optional equipment...one reason is to keep the price low, another is to keep the weight low... Low prices are attractive... then the salesmen can tell you it's light enough to be towed by whatever you're driving at the moment... Spare tire, a/c, awning, propane tanks, batteries and sometimes even screw jacks are "optional" equipment... > Not sure about the Kiwi, but lots of trailers consider a spare to be > optional equipment...one reason is to keep the price low, another is to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Spare tire, a/c, awning, propane tanks, batteries and sometimes even > screw jacks are "optional" equipment... That's the funny part; It's got everything else. I note it does have a receiver on the back, pesumably to mount bikes and whatnot on a rack made for mounting on a standard receiver. Question; Does anyone know of a spare tire rack to mount on the std reciver? You should be able to find one pretty easily, they are a common item. There's a local bike shop here that sells several different models. I'd suggest a place like that to at least look first to know what's out there.

Question; > Does anyone know of a spare tire rack to mount on the std reciver? In my TT, the spare was located in the front storage area. I just recently (after 5 years with the trailer) removed it from the storage area and moved it under the bunk bed, which was a lost storage area. it now gives me more place to store other stuff in the front storage. You can also buy parts so that you can locate the spare under the A frame, in front of the trailer. My friend has a SunLine TT and this is where his spare is located.

We saw a blue Ram hemi and Prowler Lynx with QC plates on our loop at 1717. The combination sounded familiar. Jim > In my TT, the spare was located in the front storage area.
