I know this has already been discussed but if we are unable to buy a standard Motorhome with a spare wheel why can't we be given the option to buy one as an "Optional Extra" and also have a simple device fitted underneath to store the thing? (Transit vans used to have this facility I know I used to own one or two) Payload or no payload some things are essential if only for peace of mind.
I have an Autotrail (Tracker) and now a Cheyenne
Can anyone help me to organise something to bring this to the attention of the manufacturers?

 My 2007 Peugeot ALKO LWB Autocruise Stardream has a spare. The FIAT/PEUGEOT/CITROEN order system requires the converter to add this to their order schedule as they would with cruise/heated rear view door mirrors etc etc. Not a retrograde or cheapskate move just a way to control cost and weight. Many car manufactureres are also going this way.

Hello Passionwagon,
Thanks for the info but saving weight and controlling costs are all well and good in the right place and I'm sure most would prefer a spare wheel and a place to put it?
Anybody out there agree please leave a message

When we collected our new Hymer recently i requested a spare wheel / tyre to be supplied - imagine trying to "repair" the tyre with the sealant and compressor!.
It MIGHT work ok if you had a slow puncture or a screw through the tyre.
We were lucky that our van has a storage place between the "double floor" to store one.
Anyone with an Alko chassis should check if they already have a spare wheel holder fitted underneath!
I asked the Alko people at the NEC show recently, and they said they do supply chassis with them fitted if requested to do so by manufacturers.
The holders are also available to buy as an add-on providing the chassis was originally manufactured to accept one (The chassis has mounting points in specific places).
Happy Travels

Hello Hymie,
Thanks for the reply it's good to know some makes have at least the potential for a spare carrier. The problem is that you still have to understand the need to order specific chassis and not everyone (especially novices like myself) will.

My 2007 Chausson on a Ducato LWB chassis has a spare wheel. Most probably the Fiat original set up, the carrier winds down on a wire cable.
Hope I never have to use it, its miles underneath!!! |
