General Discussion / Front End Mounted Spare Tire

« Last post by Noahpz on Today at 05:16:16 pm »

Greetings from Montana, PC owners.  I have a '22 2351D with the Quigley 4x4 conversion.  The motor home does not have a spare tire.  Since I carry bicycles attached to the rear trailer hitch I do not have the option of a spare tire mount on the rear.   What have other owners done to accommodate the placement of a spare tire? Has anyone added a front 2" hitch and spare tire mounting bracket?

Nice data key.

Back in 2007 when we bought our PC, I gathered as much PC and chassis data as I could find, paper and soft copies.  But then I didn't know when to stop.  I finally settled down a few years later.

My point here is, if you own a 2007-2010/2011 PC, I have data to share.

Makes sense. As you mentioned,,, I would then make sure that the support is barely touching/lifting when empty. There's a bit of play in the slots that the step slides in and out on... Lifting to the point that it is touching the tops of the slots would eliminate that wobble or "play". I just wouldn't want the step to be supporting the coach. The geometry of the step wasn't likely to be designed for that.


It would be worth chatting with the factory and discussing the way they weld the step to the frame and get their thoughts.  I've looked at it several times from the perspective of where does it hang (from the floor cross bars that float above the Ford chassis frame, and attached to the door frame), and how could I add a step light. I gave up on installing a light IN the step box as it is really heavy steel and I didn't feel up to the challenge of drilling thru it. (I ended up putting the light in the end wall of the cabinet.)


Please post your findings... This is an interesting topic!

I know the fan speed answer....lol.

So i have made up a book of instructions for my wife on 'HOW to do xxxx",   and printed it all out with pics do to various things. All are in a binder that she can flip through. So far all i have are the thermostat operations, sanicon system, and generator. Id be happy to share them with you here if i can but they are all power points and too big to attach.

Thank you for the input Larry. Im a #300 guy myself and have fallen on steps before so it makes me leery on that step the way it wiggles even when im gentle with it. The small screw ones ive been using i just run them up till they barely touch and then back off slightly to mainly catch my weight as the RV rolls into my load. When it comes down to it in the end id rather pay to fix the step if it breaks instead of me breaking an ankle or something. As far as i can tell they are all load rated at #300 and if i eventually have to replace the entire step unit they run $600 - $800 from eTrailer.com.  As far as the slide goes i wouldnt dare try to support that. Ive seen the horror stories about that during my research.

I kind of wondered if it was OG Phoenix or not. What lead me to believe that it was, was that the write dates of each of the video files (for 2016 model year) were before this PC was built & sold.
Guess it doesn’t mean that it came from PhoenixUSA though.

I don’t have a way to play mp4 files or I would view all of them. There are two titles I would check straightaway though, one how to control fan speed through the wall mounted thermostat, and the other is how to operate the surround sound feature.

Hi Wideglide,


I don't use them.   Like the supports they sell to go under slides, they impose forces again the step (or slide) at the points where it is connected to the PC, not just when you enter/exit the coach... but impressed twist forces when you walk around the coach, or when wind blows the PC. This causes more damage and wear than just using the step.  I think the slide supports get more chatter because people have more problems with slides, but same principle,


Even if you have the HWH levelers there is still a little bit of motion between the coach and the ground... This step stabilizer it going to hold the step rigid and fight the coach motion.



The better approach is to be kind to your steps and not stomp on them,,, just walk in and out. I weigh more than 200lbs and my PC is 16 years old. The steps are still firmly welded to the frame. No wiggle.

I've not heard of a factory provided usb library. I suspect the original owner made that for you, or more likely for his/her own use  and then let it for the next owners.


I did a similar thing using different media. I have a folder on my Google drive with the owners manuals (to PC products and most everything else I take with in the PC).  I just don't save videos, though. I marked it as "make valuable offline". Google now synchronizes that folder to a SD-TF chip in my tablet.


I've published the link elsewhere in this forum, but here's a fresh copy.
