Excella spare tire storage

Does anyone know how to store a spare tire and wheel on an Excella. I have an 82 34" and it came with a spare that was loose inside.

Airstream has a spare tire carrier that mounts under the front of the trailer.

Totally hides the tire and wheel.

I constructed a "home brew" hangar - see post #53 in this thread:

I have an 88 excella. It is under the front of the trailer just behind the a frame part of the toungue. There is a wrench that opens it up so that the tire drops down. I did it the first time without the wrench. Hope this helps.
