Does anyone know where to get a super cheap spare tire cover? The one that came with my camper is shrunken and doesn't fit anymore.  I know I have a 13" tire, gotta measure the inflated tire and see what I need.  But does anyone know where to get one that's crazy cheap?

Thanks!

Try soaking it in water and then put it on your spare.

You can get a tire cover from any RV or trailer store.  You can also probably get one online with some cool design on it. 

Personally my tire cover was so cruddy that I just tossed it.  If I find a cool looking one like maybe the jeep smiley face that hasn't shaved in a few days....I would totally get that  🙂

Psssst  Joe, Phil.....Can we get a new smiley icon like that?

It may be wasted money to buy the cheapest cover. The cheap ones I've seen are definitely thinner and probably don't have UV inhibitors. The one that came with our '07 Flagstaff seemed flimsy from the start and was cracked and dry in less than three years.

Both the spare tire and the L/P tank covers went into storage for when I sold the campers - the reason being that mice in this area love to set up shop in them ... and that was right next door to where I did not want to find a way inside of that place (the p'up!).

One thing I did find out about spare tire covers and the summer sun though,  you want to take a sheet of aluminum foil (Reynolds Wrap) and mold it over the top of the spare tire and then put on the cover.  The aluminum wrap will keep the tire chemicals from bleeding through the cover in the hot summer sunny days.

We have been working on custom CanvasCampers tire cover ideas like this one and also with our logo.  It will be a while before we find the best manufacture and they are available for purchase.  If you can recommend someone, let me know?
