Where to put the spare tire

[samb]

Unless I am very far from any services I usually do not carry a spare for my single axle Safari. After testing the fit, I found the spare for my pickup will fit my trailer. When I am far off the beaten path I will carry 2 spares that will fit either the trailer or the pickup.

BambiTex - I am trying to do this exact same thing, but I am struggling with where to run the gas lines to get them past the tire and under the trailer.

Where did you find to run yours?

Thanks.

I put a receiver hitch on the front of my TV.. I use for spare tire and or carrier that I can use for generators, yeti’s,etc.

Not visible in the photo, but channel runs on top of the tongue so there is a gap between the wheel and belly pan where the gas lines come down from the tanks and loop up onto belly pan. Will try to find a better pic.

Thanks, I think I know what you mean, but I am still struggling to work out how the tire clears the gas pipe when it is past the A-frame and under the belly pan.

If you have a pic that would be great!

No photo and unfortunately no longer own the trailer but I think the belly pan and gas lines had enough give that when I tightened the bolts the tire just moved them slightly while bearing mainly on the A frame.
