Spare Tire Rack Travato 59k

[dagodsey]

I am about to purchase a Travato 59K
I am much more interested in have a spare tire and a spare tire rack than a bicycle rack.
Looking for advice/insight please.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The current Promaster vans have a spare tire under the rear end ahead of the bumper.
Check with Winnebago, or your delaer, and ask if they left it in place or removed it as part of the upfit.

Hello Dagodsey! My 59K came with a Black River (if I remember right) bike rack. This I had removed and replaced with a Black River spare tire rack. It is equipped with locking mounting knobs and installs with no other modifications needed. The spare and rim were purchased online.
The rack was installed at the '22 Winnebago rally in Forest City but I'm sure you can make other arrangements if needed. Here's hoping we'll see you at the '23 rally at any rate. There are many vendors present and you can order ahead and have installed at the rally as I did. Congrats on the "K", a wise choice.

I put a deposit down to hold rig, will go check it out on Monday or Tuesday.
If all is as advertised then I'm buying.

There are a lot of options just comes down to how much you want to spend. As I am in my 70’s I did not want to be manhandling a heavy spare or whom ever I called to change the tire for me so I went with the tire carrier from etrailer.

You can check it out at etrailer.com or on YouTube.

Enjoy your new ride,
