Motorhome Spare Tire Covers
A motorhome spare tire cover from Wheel Shell is a custom-printed, weatherproof cover sized for the rear-mounted spare on Class A diesel pushers, Class A gas, Class B camper vans, and Class C cab-over motorhomes. Built for the long sun-soak and year-round storage that defines motorhome cover wear. Free centered camera-hole cutout, free worldwide shipping in 6–12 business days.
Built for every motorhome class — A through C, and B vans
Motorhome spares carry the longest sun-soak of any cover we sell — RVs typically park at the same campsite or storage lot for weeks at a time, with the spare facing the worst-sun side. Our covers are sized for every motorhome class:
- Class A diesel pusher (22.5″ commercial wheels): the largest motorhome class, often 36′–45′ long. 295/75R22.5 or 295/80R22.5 commercial tires → 37″ cover. Spare typically under chassis or on rear ladder bracket.
- Class A gas (19.5″–22.5″ rims): Ford F-53 or Workhorse W22 chassis. 245/70R19.5 or 235/80R22.5 → 32″–37″ cover.
- Class B camper van (Sprinter, Promaster, Transit chassis, 16″–17″ rims): 235/65R16 or LT245/75R16 → 28″–30″ cover. Spare on rear cargo door (if equipped).
- Class C cab-over motorhome (Ford E-450 or Mercedes Sprinter chassis, 16″–19.5″ rims): 225/75R16 LT to 245/70R19.5 → 29″–32″ cover.
- Super C / freightliner-chassis Class C: 19.5″–22.5″ commercial tires → 32″–37″ cover.

Class A diesel pushers run the largest tire we cover (22.5″ rim, 37″ cover). For commercial-chassis Super C builds running 24.5″ rims, custom sizing is free.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
Newer Class A motorhomes (post-2018 Newmar, Tiffin, Entegra, American Coach) ship with rear-mounted backup cameras integrated into the spare-tire bracket or rear cap. Class B and C motorhomes typically borrow the camera from the host chassis. Every cover ships with an optional centered camera-hole cutout sized to fit any factory or aftermarket camera position — at no extra cost.
To add it, select the "with camera hole" option at checkout. We cut the hole during production — no special order, no surcharge, no production delay.
Motorhome spare tire sizes — by class
Motorhome tires range from Sprinter-chassis 16″ up to commercial 22.5″–24.5″. Tire diameter (not rim size) is what determines cover size:

Choose your material

The recommended spec for full-time outdoor motorhome storage — Florida coast, Arizona desert, California Central Valley, southern Texas. 1 mm heavy-duty construction, printed and sewn in our Florida facility (the hottest, wettest US motorhome market) and tested there. 5+ year lifespan.

Materials built for off-road use
| Material | Price | Lifespan | Durability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Cleaning note: Pressure washing is not recommended for any Wheel Shell cover, regardless of material. Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Pressure washing can damage the printed surface and shorten cover lifespan.
Color matching note: Matte PU Leather and Marine Grade Vinyl reproduce factory matte black most accurately. Glossy PVC and Polyester read as deep charcoal under direct sun. For OEM paint-match, send your paint code at checkout — we calibrate the print and send a proof before production.
Color matching: Motorhomes ship in white gel-coat with brand-color graphics packages. Send your manufacturer paint code at checkout (Newmar Rosewood Red, Tiffin Allegro Coral, Entegra Cornerstone Blue, American Coach Burgundy, Winnebago Sand). Matte PU Leather and Marine Vinyl reproduce factory finishes most accurately.
How it attaches — rear ladder, chassis-mount, or rear-cap
Motorhomes carry the spare in three main positions, all served by the same cover attachment systems:
- Elastic band (PU Leather, PVC): Stretches over the tire and grips behind the tread for a snug, factory-style fit.
- Drawstring cord (Polyester, Marine Grade Vinyl, Marine Grade Vinyl Lux): Wraps over the tire and tightens with a drawcord. Adjustable for any spare diameter.
Tested at typical motorhome travel speeds (60–70 mph). The drawstring system is the more secure pick at higher speeds.

Frequently asked questions about motorhome spare tire covers
What size do I need for a Class A diesel pusher?
Class A diesel pushers run 22.5″ commercial wheels with 295/75R22.5 or 295/80R22.5 tires — that takes a 37″ cover (our largest stock size). Always size by tire diameter, not rim size.
What size for a Class C on Ford E-450 chassis?
Class C motorhomes on Ford E-450 chassis run 16″ rims with 225/75R16 LT tires — 29″ cover. Class C on Mercedes Sprinter chassis runs 235/65R16 → 28″ cover.
Will the cover work with my factory rear backup camera (newer Newmar / Tiffin)?
Yes — newer Class A motorhomes (post-2018 Newmar Dutch Star, Tiffin Allegro, Entegra Cornerstone) carry a rear-mounted backup camera integrated into the spare bracket or rear cap. The camera-hole cutout is centered and sized to fit any factory or aftermarket camera position. Select "with camera hole" at checkout.
Will the cover survive Florida coast / Arizona desert year-round storage?
Yes — for full-time outdoor parking in the snowbird belt (Florida coast, Arizona desert, California Central Valley, southern Texas) we strongly recommend Marine Grade Vinyl ($169) or Marine Grade Vinyl Lux ($199 with anti-theft lock). 5+ year lifespan, printed and sewn in our Florida facility — the wettest, hottest US motorhome market — and tested there.
Can I match my motorhome manufacturer paint?
Yes — send the manufacturer paint code at checkout. Common requests: Newmar Rosewood Red, Tiffin Allegro Coral, Entegra Cornerstone Blue, American Coach Burgundy, Winnebago Sand. Matte PU Leather and Marine Vinyl reproduce factory finishes most accurately.
How does it attach to a chassis-mount or rear-ladder spare?
The cover slides over the spare and grips behind the tread (elastic band on PU Leather and PVC) or tightens with a drawcord (Polyester and Marine Grade Vinyl). Chassis-mount, rear-ladder-mount, and rear-cap-mount spares all work the same way — the cover wraps the visible face only.
Will it stay on at highway speeds when we travel?
Yes — both attachment systems are tested at typical motorhome travel speeds (60–70 mph). The drawstring system is the more secure pick at higher speeds and for covers that see lots of on/off cycles between travel days and parked days.
Will the design fade through Florida summers / Arizona desert UV?
No — Marine Grade Vinyl carries a 5+ year lifespan rating and is the spec we recommend for the snowbird belt. PU Leather and PVC are rated for 3–4 years. All materials use fade-resistant printing rated for prolonged sun exposure.
Can I customize with my motorhome club, ham callsign, or family name?
Yes. Common motorhome customizations: FMCA / Good Sam / Escapees club logos with member affiliation, ham-radio callsigns, full-timer family names, favorite-destination combos, motorhome year + make stencils, retirement slogans. Free design proof, no minimum order, approval-first.
How long does shipping take to a motorhome storage facility or RV resort?
Free worldwide shipping, 6–12 business days with tracking. We ship to home addresses, motorhome-storage facilities, RV resorts, and pickup locations. Marine Grade orders ship from our Florida facility for the fastest US delivery.
Can I get a custom size for a Super C build with 24.5-inch wheels?
Yes — custom sizing is free. Send the tire size and bracket position at checkout and we'll size to your specific build. Common Super C custom sizes: 38″–40″ for 24.5″ commercial-chassis builds.
What if it doesn't fit when it arrives?
Free returns + full refund within 30 days of delivery. No restocking fees, no return-shipping charge.
