Rack with spare mount

[Lakers]

Where can I find a rack this large with spare mounted to it?

TIA

These racks are on most newer Keystone and other RVs. The spare is normally mounted under the unit on a BAL Hide-a-Spare. Don't think it's a real easy instal as the one on our TT has the bumper extension reinforced from the frame.
You would be better off having a welding shop fab one rather than trying to buy it.

On a new trailer. :lol:

My trailer has a similar rack but Keystone put the spare tire under the trailer, a much better idea in my thoughts.

The rack mount is welded to the frame extensions that the bumper is mounted on. The load limit is 225#. Since it is all welded in place it isn't likely to be available in the aftermarket and probably came on the LCI frame already installed.

I guess I’m stuck with the standard racks 60”x20” or 60”x24” mounted on the bumper. ��

Be careful mounting on the bumper. Be certain it is designed for the weight and able to withstand the bouncing cantilever forces.

Chip is right, the OEM bumper sheet metal is barely adequate to support just a tire. It's not the welds that fail but the metal itself. (see below) A frame mounted receiver hitch is your best (and safest) bet.

If you are going to mount anything on the bumper, at least add these;

That kit does a great job of strengthening the welds where the bumper is attached, but does nothing for the flimsy metal in the rest of the bumper.

I just said in another post, stresses will always find a weak point.
