E-ZEE Lift Spare Tire Lifter
My Roadtrek has a Continental Spare Tire on the back that has to be lowered in order to open the driver’s side rear door to access the storage space. I strained my back the first time I lifted the 80# tire back into place during my walk-through. There had to be an easier way.

I found a link to Ezee lift on the Roadtrek Forum, a device invented by a Roadtrek owner who is also an engineer.

I ordered one and today had it installed by my mechanic. It took about a half hour, and I probably could have installed it myself if I was a little younger and stronger. There are no modifications needed on the RT. It comes fully assembled and with clear installation instructions.


You simply replace the hinge bolt on the tire with the one that comes with the Ezee-Lift. A bracket is provided to attach the cable.


Then bolt the spring housing to 2 existing holes in the hitch.


That’s pretty much it! It works great! Happy customer:


Here’s a link for any other Roadtrek owners interested:

There are 2: One is a Yahoo Group: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/roadtrek/. It's free to join.

The other is Roadtrek International, a sub group/chapter of FMCA http://www.roadtrekchapter.org/. You have to be a member of FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) to join. (I'm not a member of that anymore, although I was for awhile when I owned my first RT)

I'm glad you got your e-zee lift and installation was easy, too. Now no more hurt back to hamper your travels!!!

Soooooo much easier. Glad you got it fixed.

Bet you back is blessing you about now. That looks so great. Glad you got installed and working it. Means the kayak is now stored in it's new hidey hole Good going.

Looking good Liz. When in the down position, can it double as an outside side table? Would be great if it had another function. Linda

Good invention.
