Hello Sonny533: I think that S. Boyce has a very good suggestion. If this party is planning on camping with this unit, she should definitely find out how it handles with HER vehicle as the tow

Hi JoeS: I hope that took care of all your wiggles. Any movement contributes to fatigue cracking. Some folks have added nylon straps to keep their spare tire from bouncing. Carl.

Carl, You mentioned shaking as a contributing factor to the bumper failure. I found on my spare tire mount there are 2 little brackets (for… a lock?) that come out of the center hole of the spare

I think that since Aliner went to 4 inch beams on their mid sized trailers, their frames are comparable to Chalets for strength, with the exception of the bumper, if they're still using C channel. Be

I agree about the Chalet A-frame bumper and frame being much stronger than Aliner's. My 27-850-14 General Grabber AT spare is on a cable underneath the rear of the camper. Much better and I take my

They fail because the bumpers are too damn flimsy!? The bumpers made of C channel were especially bad because the bumper was weak and the welds were also not very strong.? Chalets have 2x4 box beam

If you decide to do this, take her, with you driving to an empty parking lot. Let her drive in the parking lot only. If it was me I wouldn't do it. If she is that interested in pulling a camper she

A couple of points: If you are not comfortable, don't do it, you may regret it. Any test drive should be done with her car, she has never driven yours! When I bought mine from a dealer, he hooked

Need advice please... a woman is interested in purchasing my Scout Lite but has never towed anything before. She asked if we could hitch it up to my vehicle and take it for a short ride and she then

Hi Joe: They fail due to Torque loading with the addition of shock from road bumps. From an engineer's point of view a sure way to fail. If they would just secure the top of the spare mount from

Mine failed at the point where the bumper is welded onto the center support of the frame.? Not only do you you get load vertically & horizontally, but also front to back. The front to back load seems

Where do the bumpers seem to fail? Do they fail from vertical load or horizontal? It would be nice to know what to look out for. JoeS

After a partial bumper failure a few years back, I reinforced it.? I made "collars" and welded them to the bumper and frame.? Then I built a solid receiver with two cross members welded to the

I found a photo of my first attempt at raising up the spare before it failed. Note how Aliner reinforced the bumper by welding a piece of 4” square tubing to the bumper. JoeS

This is what I have.? Mine is the folding model, but I really have no need for that

This is how Aliner had the spare mounted originally. ?The first extension I made cracked on our trip so I had to go back to this till we got home. Joes This

Joe,? I've seen several campers that Aliner used a boat trailer mount.? They locate the tire below the bumper, unlike the other style.

The spare on my 2022 Classic was mounted so low on the bumper I couldn’t back in to my driveway with it in place. I had to make a 12” extension to raise the bracket up. JoeS

Thanks for the warning, I have a sloped driveway (pretty steep angle) - I will definitely run some checks & see if clearance is an issue.?? If so I it's only 3 bolts, I am out & I will probably get
