Can someone remind me why this is considered a bad idea? I remember reading a few posts about it but can't find them.
Currently our spare is located under behind the rear axle under the chassis rails and its starting to become a problem as we get more adventurous with our travels. Its not possible to mount it on the rear of the camper due to 60% overhang rule, and we have enough weight up high already that the roof racks and camper roof are out too.
The wheel weighs ~48Kg (alloy) and we're currently rebuilding the front bar so i'm toying with the idea of mounting it there. I've read the ADRs and it seems doable from a legal standpoint (no sharp edges, signal lights viewable etc) but I think someone mentioned ride could be affected ? maybe airflow?
