    Spare Tire Location

    We are experiencing sway while towing our Imagine 2670MK. With the kitchen at the back, the 2670 is tail heavy. The spare tire hanging from the bumper weighs over 50 lbs. and could be a significant contributor to sway. Has anyone relocated the spare tire to the area underneath the trailer between the I beams at the front of the trailer?

    BAL has a carrier for spares that you could install under the RV in front of the axles that would help you.

    It may be tail heavy but is it tongue light? I would first get it on the scales to see how much room you have in your tongue weight. It may be a matter of adding more weight to the tongue which could be done without relocating the tire.

    It could also be as simple as a hitch adjustment but you won't know until you get it on the scale.

    They do make spare tire carriers to go under the tongue a-frame.

    My wife and I just purchased a 2022 2670MK and had to remove the spare tire in order for it to fit in our driveway. I am relocating mine to the front storage compartment, will be installing spare mount to wall, tire will install vertically against the wall. That way, it shouldn't take up too much room. I will post pics once I get it done if you're interested.
