Spare tire mount

I'm trying to figure out te best way/place to mount a spare tire on my enclosed. There isn't room on the toung for it, an no one locally carries a wall mount. If you use a wall mount what kind and where, if there's something available to mount underneath that would be preferred but I have yet to find one, or if you have any other ideas please share.
 
What I did is I had some of the following materials laying around.
Two pieces of 5/8" by 4 ft long unistrut. Or other wise known as shallow strut.
Four pieces of 1/2" by 7 " threaded rod.
Four 1/2" spring nuts.
Four 1/2" square washers.
Four 1/2" hex nuts.
Four 1/2" rod couplings with 1/4" steel dowels welded to the rod couplings which act like a wing nut. No tools needed to remove the tire from the mount.
Four 1/2" fender washers between the rod coupling and the tire rim.

The tire iron (4-way) gets sandwiched between the two tires and the wall of the trailer. :face-icon-small-ton

^^^ that's a good looking set-up

The coolest method I've seen is this:

Take a 2x2 tube approx 3' and weld it on the tongue
On the top weld the snout from a spare axle. On the snout mount a compete hub/bearing assembly. Bolt spare to hub. This will be above the propane tanks and you'll have a compete spare hub assembly. Super slick. Ill see if I can get some pics of it to post up.
