The BAL Retract-A-Spare (28240) relocates your spare tire from the bumper or inside storage to a protected spot beneath the trailer frame—then lets you slide and pivot the tire out for easy access when you need it. No crawling deep under the RV, no wrestling with a cable winch. It’s a clean, secure, under-chassis solution built for modern travel trailers and fifth wheels.
Will it work with my tire? Measure your spare’s overall diameter and width, then confirm the same or greater clear space under the frame where the tray will live. If you’re running a large LT-rated 16" tire, send us the measurements and we’ll verify fitment.
Can I mount it on either side? Yes—choose the side that gives you safe roadside access and clear slide-out room.
Do I need to weld? No—typical installs are bolt-on (drilling required). Professional installation is recommended if you’re unsure about clearances or fastener selection.
Does it rattle? When mounted per instructions and latched, the tray is designed to be secure and quiet. Re-check hardware after the first few trips.
