Did my coach come with a spare?

I am getting to know my new to me 2015 Windsport 32N. It has a spare tire under the rear hooked up on what appears to be a winching mechanism. The tire though is a 225/70 while the rest are all 245, and the install looks homemade. So to my question: did these models come with a spare or is this likely to be something the pervious owner rigged up?

A previous owner has rigged that up. There are endless threads about the pros and cons of having a spare tire and wheel on this forum. Suggest if you keep it that you run it down and up occasionally, keep it lubed and the tire inflation checked.

Make sure it actually fits. I bought one a few years ago and found that I bought the wheel with the wrong hub size (Centre Bore)
Fit the front fine, not the back. Tire dealer that installed the tire on the wheel said he would have done the same thing. It seems when your looking for a wheel, they give you most of the measurements, but not so much the hub diameter size. If you have a micrometer you can easily measure both without having to physically installing it.
Hate to carry a wheel that will not fit when needed.
