Nice idea, I was looking around about 6 months ago when coming up with my method and I'm surprised I didn't see your video back then. I made a mount that attaches to the bumper instead of the hitch assembly. If you make more tire mounts I would suggest flipping the mounting plate to face the RV and rest the tire on the bumpr. Since the tire weight would go straight down the bumper it can handle that fine vertically. The issue comes when people pplace a bike rack on the bumper and it's hanging all the weight out making the bumper want to twist, thats where the bumper is weak and will fail. The metal arm holding your tire is pretty long creating a lot of moment of inertia (torque) especially going into turns and bouncing. Also, when you use hitch extensions, that cuts your tounge weight capacity in half. You saud you will tow a jeep in a comment but if someone was to tow a flatbed, the full weight of the tire is going towards the tongue weight which easily 50 lbs and those hitch extensions are normally rated at 350 lbs tongue weight and 3,500 lb pulling. So you can really only tow something about 3500 lbs or less and that only assumes 10% of the trailer wright bei g on the tou ge when it can normally be 15% or more. You can get to 350 lbs tongue weight very quickly so putting the full load of tire on the hitch doesn't help. I guess that only a concern if you plan to use a flatbed with your mount. I made a similar video showing what I did. I'm sure you can find it by searching RV Tire Mount Bumper Solution to see what I'm saying. Anyways, always cool to see others ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments and ideas, yes the flat tow has zero tongue weight, I saw one built like this for 1,000 or 900 and built mine similar. If I flat bed the jeep I don't need spare there I can just put on trailer Thanks Steve
