Caravan Storage Wheels

not heard of that one, mate. We've just ordered a new van after agonising whether to go for an off-roader etc because the extra height would've been 70mm or so too high to go under the car port. Letting air out wasn't quite enough, then we thought of getting a couple of old uns from the wreckers but then the thought of getting back from a trip and the extra pharting around changing wheels....aaaaagh forget it. Got them to re-enforce the frame and bolt in cupboards instead of screwing them in. Should do us for most trips then tent it to the more inaccessible. Interesting one though. Will ask at my local dealer.

Hi Mark

I was at the jayco caravan yard in adelaide the other day , saw those wheels you are talkin about , but at a cost of about $400.00 ...i dont think id bother ....Cheers ...Dave

Go to the wreckers & get a set of old steel rims to suit whatever you got,& take off the tyres.

Mark.
Saw the wheels you are looking for at Kratmans Caravans in Sandgate Road Virginia (Brisbane). Give them a call and they might be able to tell you where you can get some

I made up a set for my van. Got a free pair of bent rims from the wreckers, cut the centre out with a gas axe and welded the centres into a 3" wide offcut from a 10" steel pipe. Compared to the $450 i was quoted for a purchased set, my freebee's work an absolute treat and my van now resides inside the garage. I use a rattle gun and my hilift jack on the van to change the tyres and have got the changeover down to 5 minutes flat. Also allows you to easily check the wheel bearings before every trip, not a bad side benefit.
