Hi everyone again,while we are on this vanners subject,has any of you had the misfortune of changeing your caravan wheel,with the spare that is keep on the underslung alko wheel carrier.
Even under the best of circumstancesit is difficult to remove,let alone at the the side of a busy road/motorway.
Or am I going about the wrong way,any advice welcome.
Alfie.

the proper alko carriers are a bullet proof but awkward..unhitch the van and lower the front end and then slide the carrier out to gain access to the big wing nut and 19mm bolt and then you have to slide back under van to remove spare tyre theyre a pain in the arse and i would not want to have to do it abroad

Hello Hercules,Yes its the pukka ALKO one,with all the stuff that I carry in the front locker there is no room for the spare wheel in there.
The last time that I had a puncture I called out green flag.

they also did a basket type carrier which was simple and quick but a few cases of fatigue and now they abolish them and only use and recommend the one you have..but bpw still use the basket and to me it is so much better
