Spare Tire Crane?

[bubblerboy64]

That is a very good point Leroy. A guy isn't going to spring for a
new tire for a spare so the chances are good that about the time you
would need it might be totally worthless. If I could have figured
away to carry one under the coach I would have considered it but on
top just doesn't make sense for me. Now if you really want get into
the figurin: Figure what that extra weight costs you in fuel over
the time its on the roof. Well, I take that back. If you're cutting
it that close you better forget that "Bus" and ride a bike.

bad.

bottled water, cigars, coffee, candy etc. No matter the vise, you
spend more than $2.00 per day on it. Just cut the vise spending by
$2.00 day, put the cash in the bus safe and after 5 years you have a
brand new set of tires. It will not be painful and you do not need a
spare. Check it out.

hanging on the roof in the sun for 5 years is worth a damn anyway.
