Spare tire storage

   I wouldn't be a fan of storing the tire inside because of the smell. In such a small place it wouldn't take long for your unit to smell like a tire shop. 
If I was looking to relocate it my first choice would be underneath.

	Check out my mods for the BAL Hide-A-Spare which I chose to relocate the spare tire. I wanted to put a cargo carrier on the back to carry things like the spare propane tank and gasoline for the generator--things I did not want to carry inside either our Escape or our EscaPOD. While the spare tire does not block the furnace directly, I think it a bad idea to have it where the hot air from the furnace can heat it up. Spare tires have been known to explode. Having a potential bomb inside the R-Pod is a bad idea. See this post (and the whole thread) as an example.

	Has anyone stored the spare tire in the cabin under the bed, in a 179? We have found that it fits there and doesn't block the furnace. We are trying to free up the back of the TT to allow for a bike rack. Any thoughts, pro or con, are appreciated.
