Introducing the NEW Aluminum Owl Expedition Tire carrier for 2019 - present Mercedes Sprinter Vans. This unit is hands down the nicest tire carrier you can buy. We didn’t want to change the DNA of the Owl carrier that has made it one of the leading products in the industry. We did however want to make it lighter, stronger, and even more versatile. The all-new carrier features all tig welded aluminum frame that allows mounting of a 33" tire or a box (carrier includes box mounting tabs). If you're looking for a cheap RV overseas knockoff, you came to the wrong place! :)
We utilize the same structure and mounting points that have made Owl Carriers the most reliable and easiest to install in the industry. Engineered to withstand the toughest roads and harshest environments. This carrier will keep you properly equipped for years to come.
The Owl Tire Carrier mounts securely to the hinges and requires a single mounting hole be added to the door. Don’t worry, we include a mistake-free template and specialty step-drillbit to make installation a breeze!

What Type Of Hinges Do I Have?
There are two types of hinges that come on the VS30 MB Sprinter (2019+) vans, 180˚ and the 270˚. Owl carriers require the 180˚ hinges or a set of our modified 270˚ hinges (sold separately). All Winnebago REVELs have the 180˚ hinges. To figure out what type of hinges you have there are a few easy options:
Hinge Comparison:
Look at the attached image. If you have holes in your hinges then you have the 180˚ hinges (top in the image).
If your doors open all the way and fold flat along the side of the van you have the 270˚ hinges.
Verify your hinges before ordering. Owl will not pay return shipping on mistaken orders. If you are unsure ask us! :)
