Spare Tire Crane?

[Jack & Donna Smith]

Kurt: On our first trip, we replaced one tire (in Las Vegas) on our
1973 Bird.. The old one was still funcutional, so it was put on the
roof with the forklift.. When we got home, I attemped to lower it
down with a rope. Got some nifty Rope Burns on my hands for my effort..
I should think a Texan could throw the tire up, dash quickly up the
ladder and then catch it :-(
Actually, Curt Springers old coach had a neat carrier on the back of
his coach..But it was a FC model..
Of course, you could mount the spare on the front of the coach, much
like an old VW Bus
