Spare tire placement under rear deck?

Hi there all, well I finally received a 8.1 Livin Lite but it arrived without a spare tire. I did buy it from a private party and he is willing to work with me because he didn't realize it did not have a spare tire. Can someone snap me a picture of their spare tire placement if they have a rear deck please?  I see some bolts where it might be attached or might have an attachment but there are no brackets so I wanted to try and track down some brackets to hold the tire in place. Also even though the brackets look like they would hold the tire in place under the rear deck the tire looks like it would be awfully close to the ground? I've seen some spare tires placed underneath in the middle of the chassis but I'm wondering if placement is different for different models and for different options? Anybody have any replies or suggestions for me thanks dianne

o the vrv the spare mount is just a small aluminum plate with a threaded hole in the center located at the back of the trailer.  you habe the hold the spare up to the bottom of the deck and thread a knob with a threaded rod on it.

Do you happen to know if  that spare mount is standard or will I have to special order it?

If the aluminum plate with the threaded hole is there (it will be welded to the bottom of the deck) you could easily make a replacement with a piece if threaded rod and a knob and a piece of aluminum (to cover the center of the wheel so the know has something to tighten against.

You could probanly also order it from ll.  Based on the design I am sure a few peo Pl e have lost them when the know came loose, so they may offer a replacement
