Has anyone installed the BAL Hide A Spare tire carrier on their R  Pod? Which one did you use and did you take pictures? Any info appreciated.

Yes. We have the 179, which would be similar to your 180. I mounted it between the steps and the rear stabilizers, behind the black water tank. On the 180, I think the tanks may be located differently than in the 179, so where I mounted it may not work for you. I actually removed ours in preparation for it to go to the factory for repairs. Given that we now have a pickup truck for carrying things like propane, generator, and gasoline, the need for it isn't as great as before. Pictures of it are in my mods, the link to which is in my signature.

Check chetc's post for a good how to.



I read it then bought one and installed it using his instructions.  Only change was the hood River had wider tires so I had to lower both brackets. There's a picture in my "all my 180 mods" post.
