Hi everyone, We have just purchased a jockey wheel to fit to our trailer tent. I would like to know if bolting it to the towing frame is the best way to fit it ?? Any advise would be most appreciated      Thanks Doug

The Jockey wheel is usually bolted to the side of the A frame behind the hitch, I would assume you would need the Jockey wheel clamp fitting specific to your trailer chassis tho.

Is there a fitting point on the "A" frame for a Jockey wheel clamp, usualy two holes?, with you saying it is a TT, I would imagine there is, if the TT is not new to you, then maybe the previous owners have ditched the Jockey wheel, as they often get broken from improper use, reason I mention this is that it is not advisable to drill into the galvanised "A" frame of the TT, as this can cause for water ingress under the galv, which further leads to cracking of the galv, most TT's trailer frames would be pre-drilled with fitting points before being galvanised, most after fits to trailer frames is done using square "U" bolts, saves any drilling and is not as damaging to the galvanised frame. hope that helps.

I would drill holes and blot the jockey wheel to the a frame. This is a more secure way of fixing it to the trailer. Once you drill the holes just put some galvanised paint around the holes and that will stop any rust.
