We put our spare under with a hide-a-spare. It was a tight fit, but it has the added benefit of supporting the floor in the wide spot under the kitchen. It does not hang down any lower than anything else.

There is a spare tire holder that easily mounts to the a-frame.  With the added weight of the spare tire and mount, as well as spare battery(s) and propane tank(s) you want to make certain you don't go over on tongue weight as per limits on your tow vehicle.

I use 2 narrow strips of elastic velcro that wraps around the monitor & mirror on the left & right sides. The monitor has a narrow frame around the perimeter. So the velcro does cover the monitor frame & a little bit of the monitor screen, but not enough that it blocks what I need to see.

I like that idea. How do you attach the strips to the monitor? I would think that running them around the front would be annoying as they would be in the way of the picture.

I also use the Yakry from Amazon. I use two elastic velcro strips to attach the monitor to my rearview mirror. The mirror is useless when towing (all I can see is the front of my camper) so that is a great monitor location for me.

Very similar to the Yakry model I got from Amazon. Worked great but could have stood to have a wider angle lens than it did. Also the windshield mount was useless. I made a metal plate to fit inside a tray on the dash and mounted magnets to the bracket. Worked awesome
