The spare tire mounts in a prime space for batteries, tanks, generators, etc. Currently there are no aftermarket rear door spare tire mounts sold for the Promaster. I also could not find one for the Ducato, Jumper, Boxer. There are two options for the Sprinter but the best one is $279 and will not work for our Promaster due to the bolt pattern: http://www.eurocampers.com/2007--2015-Sprinter-Rear-Tire-Carrier-black--for-models-with-4-or-6-cylinder-engine-_p_114.html
Instead of making my own like the Sprinter one Eurocampers sells I decided to source one from another vehicle. The best I found is the factory spare tire carrier for the Jeep Wrangler JK. The JK is the closest match to our Promaster bolt pattern and I am happy to say it fits perfectly.
Parts needed:
Jeep Wrangler JK spare tire mount ($40-$100. I got mine on eBay for $55 shipped)
Spare Tire mount reinforcement kit (not needed but good for piece of mind) (I bought a used kit on Amazon for $20 shipped:
Three 1/2" lug nuts (I purchased locking lug nuts on eBay for $10.98 shipped: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131234716020?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
8 M8 2" hex bolts (If using the reinforcement kit)
Optional:
Tire cover of your choice
Rubber gaskets to protect paint. I purchased 6" square rubber sheets from Home Depot and cut them to fit.
I still have to wire the third brake light and lower the license plate so you can see it better.
Here are photos of the installation:
