Thanks for the picture and info.

I'm not sure how simple it may be, but I'm interested in what may be involved from a structural standpoint. Some CruiseAmerica motorhomes have spares mounted off back wall, and I believe at least some of those are built by Thor for CA. Next time I'm at CA I'm going to take a look to see how it was done.
My Coachmen was that way too, as were some of the CA rentals I've used in past. But I can't remember how tire carrier was bolted to wall.
A 75-pound tire is a lot of weight, so I'm also wondering if Thor added steel inside wall just for the tire carrier. In this particular model I'd bet there is a vertical steel tube just to left of window, so carrier probably bolts over that area of wall.
