Spare Tire Storage
Has anyone transported a spare time on the top of a B-190? Will the top support the weight?

I think it would... but I'd hate to have to get it up there and back down!dougb wrote:Has anyone transported a spare time on the top of a B-190? Will the top support the weight?

Its not necessary...start out with good tires.
There are many places to replace tires anywhere along the Alaska Hwy through Canada and Alaska now...
And the roads have improved a ton....don't need to listen to all those ole stories about the bad roads anymore.
Those old roads, developed by the US Army, have all pretty much been abandoned and new roads installed near them, in part due to the huge amount of tourism RV traffic spring & summer...its a huge part of the economy along there now heading to Alaska
If ya come to an area where there might be road work being done, simply drive slow and wave people by....whatever you do, do not allow people behind you to pressure you into driving faster than you are comfortable with.
Our B190 rigs carry near max load capacity on the rear axle...be very careful to make sure proper tire air pressure is maintained, especially on the rears
DO NOT pack a ton of stuff in your rig, travel as lite as possible, every pound makes a difference...
