Title: spare tire mounting
Post by: Tom Aber on February 12, 2003, 12:38:00 AM
I have recently purchased a Clipper and have noticed on the web site that they didn't have the spare mounted on the back. It would be helpful to me to move it because of the size of my RV port and also to accomidate a cargo carrier (receiver mounted). Any info on where it should/could be would be great. It may have been moved because a trailer hitch system from the previous owner (to Clipper site specs) was installed. Thanks.

I saw the area underneath sort of between the underside of the generator housing and the passenger side door nestled up next to the tailcone of the trannie. There was what looked like a couple of nuts welded to the frame, one about 1/2 inch deep and the other normal size. Is this where the carrier bolted to the frame with some sort of threaded rod? If anyone has more info it would be appreciated. If anyone is local to Orange/LA counties, I could certainly make the drive to see it in person. Thanks for any help!
