Do an internet search for the make and model # of your water heater. Companies are good with tech help and exploded parts diagrams. Check for any how to do videos on you tube. Mantelli trailer sales will mail you parts and answer any questions you may have. Jay Simon in parts 716-625-8877. They have been a HiLo dealer for many years.

I have an 85 funchaser and the spare is mounted to the rear bumper.
My h2o htr is a pilot light not an ignitor. If is an ignitor, it will have wires that run to the flame output area from a switch.

Some models had the spare on the underside. I think I remember seeing a spare mounted up front under a cover behind the LP tanks where the batteries are in most later models.

I don't know about your model but on the Towlite models the spare tire was an extra cost option. Most came through with them, but I think it was a pricing thing that HiLo had to make it look more attractive, and, of course, they made more profit from the options.

As a matter of interest, the socket fitting you can put on a drill that will raise and lower your stabilizers will also fit the nut on the spare tire under the HiLo. However, it is not the same size as the nut on the tires. Of course,you could not turn lug nuts with a battery powered drill. Lug nuts are torqued at 90 ft lbs if done properly.
