I have a t4 2.5 petrol westfalia camper and will be converting to LPG ,but do not want to travel without the spare wheel .i do not want to lose any inside space as i use it a lot for camping.
any suggestions where i can hang the wheel underneath .
anyone used a bike carrier on the back door to carry it , weight ??
no space above as it has a poptop.
Iwould appreciate any suggestions
thanks
bob

Have a look in the for sale section as someone is selling Syncro type wheel carriers which hinge on the back like a 4x4.

I'm in the same boat, had to carry my spare inside for the last 4 years, what I'd really like is a carrier I could mount on the towbar.

do campers not have the same spare wheel carrier between the rear wheels like the vans then?

had the same prob. when I fitted 16" Audi alloys with 215-65-16 would not fit under the van so I fitted a land rover discovery carrier to my solid back door reinforced on the inside, had to weld the studs from the back of the carrier and used porsche lockers to keep it there , jobs a goodun.

Mine has no rear door/doors so a normal wheel carrier can't be used.

I drove past a van this morning with a wheel on the back... looked quite cool

This is what I want but they are either in Oz or South Africa!

Just because you run alloys the spare can be the origonal steelie...in fact i wouldn't want to mount an alloy under the van in all the road salt grime that gets chucked up..
