I contacted Thor about possibly adding a rear wall mounted spare on my 2017 Freedom Elite 26HE since I noticed that it is an available option on the apparently identical Four Winds an Chateau models. I was told that the supporting structure is not included on my coach because Camping World does not order the spare tire option and n Freedom Elite models. They also indicated that the bumper also is not strong enough to support a tire carrier. I'm now considering a hitch mount but it all gets pretty spendy. A ford wheel costs over $400 with a couple hundred more for a tire. Haven't looked for a non OEM or used wheel yet tho.
