Hi folks,
anyone fitted underslung spare wheel carrier as an extra, would like to know if it's much of a job ,and where to buy them. we carry a lot of weight in front box, gas bottles, spare wheel and all the junk, Think it may be better for weight distribution if wheel was underslung, would appreciate any advice or views.

Get in touch with the manufacturer of your van who should be able to advise you where to obtain one from. If it is a standard Alko chassis look up local stockists who should be able to help you. If Alko they are very simple to fit Exclamation
