under trailer spare tire mount

[InlineDieselFan]

My trailer spare is mounted under the trailer. What Diesel Power said is about how it was done. But instead of the flathead end of a tire iron or a real big screwdriver I have a lugnut that is the same size as on the tire, for lowering the tire.

As far as room goes there is plenty, tandom axle trailer and all.

What's the donor Airstream do for a spare now?

There is no spare for the Airstream, it was used as a deer camp trailer and now it is just sitting at home awaiting the time I will be able to afford another deer lease. It will need new tires by that time anyway.
I don't have a spare for my 16' utility trailer either..someday.

The idea of mounting in the tongue sounded good, but then I noticed my drop leg jack is in the middle of the tongue.
It is a wood deck trailer, 83" X 22'. I got fold down ramps on the back, so I could see the trailer behind me when it's empty. Maybe when it gets a little drier outside, I can crawl under and figure this out. Thanks for all the suggestions. JC

The Airstream where it came from also has the tounge jack in the center, the spare tire holder is just placed a little farther back.
