No, the BAL part 28217B 70'I-BEAM RECESSED HIDE-A-SPARE is not suitable for campers with an enclosed and heated underbelly. This product, similar to the BAL RV 28217B spare tire carrier, is designed for trailers with open underbellies and a recessed mounting style for I-beam frames.
Specifically, it works best with trailers that have exposed frame rails and no underbelly enclosure.
For trailers with enclosed underbellies, BAL offers an alternative model, the 28218B, which utilizes an underslung mounting style to avoid interference with the enclosure. Using the 70'I-BEAM RECESSED HIDE-A-SPARE on an enclosed underbelly could lead to improper installation or damage, as the recessed mounting system may not align correctly with the enclosure.
