Robert/Susan -
There is a A-frame tire holder welded just behind the propane tanks on my
Bambi. I've never seen that set up on any other rig but I've had one blowout
(in Ensenada) and am really glad I had the spare. You can see a very bad
picture of it at http://www.primenet.com/~sheureka/outside.htm.
