Spare tire cover

[gaymeadowsman]

The thin vinyl spare tire cover that came on our trailer is showing signs of rot. The elastic band has stretched out of shape and the cover has only been removed once a year to check the air pressure. That means 2 times in it's life cycle. Can anyone point me in the direction of a website where I can order a better quality cover than the one that came with my trailer?

I bought a $15 cover for my Sidekick from Cabelas. Nothing fancy but it did last about 4 years.

We lost ours while driving back from North Carolina / Florida this past summer. I called the manufacture just to get a price on it, and they sent me a brand new one free of charge including the shipping which I was surprise.:B

I went one step further with our previous KZ Spree ... removed the spare tire and bracket from the rear bumper which is the worst possible place for it to be located even though that's where KZ put it, stored the bracket, and moved the tire to the front pass through cargo compartment, placing the weight in front of the axle where it belongs. Out of sight, out of mind, completely protected from the elements, no cover needed, yet the wheel was readily available should I have ever needed it and the well formed by the wheel itself served perfectly for storing hoses and power cables. Coachmen suspended the spare tire under the A-frame of our current trailer so I likewise ditched the crank assembly securing it in place and moved the tire to the front pass through. Too easy, and no tire cover needed. K.I.S.S. :B

Used these guys for 22.5" cover... good fit, good material, good price.

Nice covers...in fact too nice! I'd worry that it would grow legs!

But he's looking for someone that had had a good experience/ long lasting tire cover

Thanks Twomed, I think I can find something we'll like there.
