2018 tag xl spare

I bought a 2018 tag xl a month ago from the original owner. Getting ready for an east coast trip north I wanted to check the spare. There was none. I contacted original owner who is an honest guy in my opinion. He said there was never a spare with the tag xl. I bought a spare and there is no place to mount it. Am I missing something on the trailer? I read there should be a crank on the passenger side under the door. There is nothing there. If these did not come with spares were is everyone mounting the spare?

    My 2017 was an option for the spare tire. Mine came with one. I thought it was a standard feature for 2018 ?

    I've seen them mounted in front of the tool box. I would mount mine on the roof rack of my TV.

    They were option on tge 2017 outback/boundock, standard on 2018 outback/boondock. Probably options on none outback/boondock.

    I use a small 12" tire/wheel for a spare. It fits flush under my trailer in the o.e. spare mount for the boondocks. I also have a big spare that I take when going off-road. I put it in the back of the truck. For 90% of my travels, I just have the small one with me.
