I have just purchased a new 2018 T@B 400.  As crazy as it seems I have searched all over the trailer, and I cannot find the spare tire, or even a mounting point for it.  Can someone please tell me where it is, if there is one?

    Unless they changed it, it was originally mounted under the tongue.

    That might have been.  I definitely don't have one there, But I will check the tongue to see if there is a bracket there for it.  Thanks for the information.

    Thanks Sharon_is_SAM.  I saw the cable for the spare tucked up in the rails of the tongue.  I will have to bug the dealer for my spare tire.  Thanks, again.

    Look on the passenger side of the trailer just in front of the trailer cab.  There will be a hex drive. Jjust inboard, under the frame and bolted to it, you will see the crank mechanism for pulling the spare up tight against the bottom of the frame.  If the spare is not there--or if the cranking mechanism is not even there--call your dealer.  The mechanism is installed at the factory and the spare is shipped from the factory on the inside of the trailer.

    Look under the bed, they ship under the bed and the dealer usually puts them under the tongue during the PDI. If it isn't in either place, likely it got lost or left off somehow.

    Have you lifted up the bed to see if the spare is tucked in there?
