I have searched for existing threads about these and established that what I was told that this would be better for my camper now it has a mover fitted is true, especially as i am moving the camper about on gravel. What I want to know is what happens when the jockey wheel gets punctured?

You have to buy a new wheel

Okay, so the question then is (betcha couldn't see this coming!) how often do they puncture? Is it worth it? Do I need one or would a wider non pneumatic do an okay job?

Two questions in one there - they don't puncture very often and a wider non pneumatic one would do the job but not as well.

The only downside in my experience is that they can cause the front end to 'bounce' a little bit by there is nothing better if you are moving on gravel.

They do have a habit of going down occasionally - had one that needed pumping up every time I used it! They also hang lower than a standard one when towing so can catch on bumps, unless you remove them completely.

My Pathfinder is moved on gravel with the mover and I went back to a wide non-pneumatic wheel after a while - less hassle!

Go for a wide solid or buy a spare one as well
