Excellent modification. Thanks for the write-up and pictures.
On mine the access hole is not obscured by the camper, but the overhang of the camper means you cannot swing the crank handle. So luckily all I needed to do was create an extension. I think in the end I welded a couple of sockets together back to back and that allowed me to use my socket set on the end of the square drive crank shaft. I say "think" because in 6 years I've never had a puncture, so never had to remove the spare wheel while the camper is on. I might try taking the spare wheel off this afternoon to make sure it hasn't jammed up there, or cracked. In fact I have another spare wheel and tyre in better condition, so I might swap them over.
Steve.
