I've found that a typical 5-gallon plastic gas can will fit in the Westy roof
rack quite nicely.  It's easily secured with a couple of bungees crossed on
top and hooked to the standard tie-down loops.  I carried one like this on my
'75 bus for years when I lived in the boonies.  Never had a problem.  Two
would fit, I'm sure.

Not sure about where to put a second spare wheel.  If all else fails, you
could mount a hitch receiver and use one of those platforms that fits into
them.  I see these on pickup campers a lot for carrying things like
generators.
