rear tire mount

I am new here and have a question I hope someone can help me with.
It has to do with spare tire location. We had a T@B and the tire was located underneath at the rear. Very hard to deal with so I moved it up front on the frame.
Me and the wife recently purchased a Flagstaff E Pro 14` camper. The tire is up under the camper in the middle. I know this is going to be very hard to deal with if we have a flat on the road. There is not room on the front of the camper to place a tire mount because of the two propane tanks and two batteries. I know I have seen some E Pro s with the tire mounted on the back of the camper. Ours was not.
Does anyone know if there is a strong sub structure in that area so a tire mount bracket can be mounted on the rear of the E Pro 14 footer?. Also, can these tire mount brackets be purchased from a camper dealer or direct from Forest River?.
Thanks zoonie

From what I understand, many manufacturers are lightening up the rear bumper and they are no longer sufficient for mounting anything to..

I would contact them.and see what the weight limit of the bumper is. That will tell you how much it can handle.

Yes, several companies make rear tire carriers.

Here is one..
