[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 6375, member: 26"] Perry -- I have an '89 Chevy pickup with the mini-winch under the bed which holds my truck spare. I went to a salvage yard and got another ($25 if you shop around, $45 if you're in the same hurry I was), and mounted it under my trailer for the trailer spare. Drilled a 1/2" ++ hole in the side of the trailer frame so I could poke in the pickup tool to raise/lower the trailer spare. Since I only move the trailer with my pickup, I always have the tool available. Keeps tje spare way out of sight (you can only see it if you lay down on the ground) and it's cranked up tight against the trailer bottom so it doesn't rattle. I know you probably don't want to do that with 3 tires, but that's my solution which has worked well for the past couple of years.
