Thinking of upgrading ours is tatty and sinks in wet ground ,has anyone else and are they a specific size or one size fits all.

 replaced ours last year,best thing since sliced bread!!!

 makes moving van easier,just remember to pump it up and check pressure from time to time,

I've had them on and off on the campers over the last couple of years. On my Conway Challenger I fitted it, then took it off again after a couple of trips 'cause it was just too close to the ground. I also found that one needed pumping up every time I used it!

I've now got the one that was previously on my parents' caravan on the Conway Cardinal. That one only needs pumping up occasionally and fits reasonably. Only problem is it won't swing under the brake rod once the camper is hiched to the car, so I have to fiddle about to make sure I can raise it before the camper is hitched up. I used to be able to just lift the front of the camper by hand and swing the wqheel round but medical problems prevent this at the moment so I either get someone else to lift the front or just jack up the front on the jockey wheel, drop a steady to support the weight, then lift and swing the wheel into line.

Replacing the lot is the best way to go.  Changing a wheel is a pain.

Ours has a PSI of 60.  Beware, pneumatic wheels are heavier than the solid tyre and need screwing down very tightly when towing.  Our wheel has dropped down and the tyre punctured twice now.  (They  are not designed for travelling at 60 mph).

So now we remove the jockey wheel completely when hitched.
