Hi ramp,

Is the jockey wheel going back internaly, or is the clamp coming lose? They should carry the weight of the camper but the best scenario is to only use it for the positioning and putting on and off vehicles. They don't like being out in the weather all of the time, there is a thread inside that usually binds up with rust. If you have the standard type which is just onto the side of the A frame with a threaded clamp these are very limited for the right height i.e you must have the jockey wheel in the right position for the clamp to work properly which is the raised section of the jockey wheel into the slot, which is not always practical.

Are you using your jockey wheel when using camper? As they are not designed for that, you need stabilisers.

The jockey wheel we have is permanently welded to the A frame, folds up (thru the winding process) out of the way. It is a AL-KO brand wheel but I have never seen another one, not even on another caravan or camper, we purchased it from the Caravan and Camping show in Melbourne last year.

if you would like a pic of the wheel, contact me at grierson@hotkey.net.au and we'll send you one.

cheers AlLife - Live it , Love it !

I had the same prob with a new tyre on the jock wheel only two days after I purchased it. First they gave me a new tube and then gave me a liquid filler that just keeps rolling around inside filling up any holes - no further probs more than six months later.
