ATF: Cyclone - 3100 Spare Tire

On my 2014 Cyclone 3110 I had the same issue.
As I pulled into the driveway at my storage yard at angle, I thought I would not drag my spare. I drove slowly thinking I had cleared only to see in my rear mirror I dropped my spare in the street. After picking up the spare and parking the 5th wheel, I looked underneath to assess the damage. I had a bent spare tire crank to include the H looking bar that it was attache to. Further looking at the H bar, I saw it was only held on by 4 bolts. I took it off, bent, straighten everything back.
Before putting it back, I looked to see where I could re locate. I was able to re locate the bar approx. 2' forward, closer to the rear axle. Before I would be able to do this I had to take off the Toy Lok because it would be in the way of the H bar and re locate. I re located 1' 1/2 just to the rear of the right rear level. Drilled 4 holes and re installed everything back in place. Now I have more clearance and don't worry as much. I can post photos if requested. Hope this helps

I unbolted my spare tire frame and then rebuilt it to hold TWO spares and mounted it in front of the axles. That way it will never drag. I highly suggest this mod. I posted pics at one time on here...
On Edit: Please note the avatar is from when we took delivery and it's mounted in the rear still.

Well if you drag it in the front, it'll be the least of your worries.
No Joke!
