Since my full size spare is mounted in the rear of the vehicle…
what if…
…I mounted a shower in the well of the empty spare wheel!
My farmer-non-engineer logic tells me that if I reuse the bolt holes used to mount the spare wheel lift pulley (I’d remove the pulley) + the spare wheel anti-crash bracket – I should be fine… or not?! I would fabricate a bottom mounted bracket to hang the shower.
I ordered the WaterPort 4gal, which dimensionally fits perfectly in this space and does not hang below the heat shield.
My only hesitations would be:
• The full dynamic load of the shower can shake welds into place. (~30 lbs static weight)
• Is the heat shield large enough to mount a plastic container in this space? It would have to be high ambient temperatures to melt the shower.
Does anyone have any knowledge of these mounting points and where I can safely mount something?
