That's what we did with our R179. We put a hide-a-spare under the area beneath the entrance. Bonus feature is that it holds up that large unreinforced area of the floor.

By putting the spare under your camper, how much room do you have from the spare bracket to the ground?  Have you ever run over anything that hit the spare?

Thanks,
Kee

I have not measured it, but there are other things that hang lower, so I haven't worried about it. We've never hit anything with it.

Ok, thanks.  I worry for nothing sometimes. LOL

Maybe set the empty tank inside the door as the last thing you do as you close the door.  Or in the bath. We put things in the bath that we don't want to slide.  I put my rear jacks inside on the floor when underway and they don't move which is surprising.
