Got ready to install the roadside plate and found a propane fitting right where I wanted to screw it to the frame. How far foward of the axle mount did you install yours. What is the measurement from the fresh water tank.

I have a 2018 180 Rpod and am considering the BAL Hide-a-Spare.
1. Do any of you who have completed this install have any regrets or alternative suggestions? 2. I am not certain which model BAL to purchase. My choices are in the attached photo. Advice, please. Thanks to all.  |

I used the 28215 on our 190. Had to cut about 8" off it to install it. Ours is mounted behind the tires. I added a platform to the end of it and store our non-potable water hose there.
Crawl under yours and check the area that you want to mount it. Look for obstructions, wires, etc. Not difficult to install, took about an hour. I think it's better there than bouncing around on the back. Go for it and good luck!

I also used the 28215 and cut 8" off it . I installed it using CHETC 'S instructions.
Only due to the hood river tire, I had to mount the both brackets lower. It still pushes against the floor pretty tight, But I think that help supports the floor..... |

Second to what voisj said....had to lower both brackets with new holes and even deflate the tire to get it secured. Maybe my spare is wider...don't know. But I now like it.....like having the spare out of sight.
