I have a 2004 Bailey Bordeaux in storage 200 miles away so hence my question. Does anyone know the size of the jockey wheel on this van as I am having a mover fitted later this year and I have been told it would be wise to change the Jockey to a wide wheel type.
Thanks

48mm as Mike (above) says.
Pneumatic is best as it will reduce the chance of any damage to the A frame if you hit an obstruction. Great value jockey wheels on ebay. Have a look at this:

Thanks everyone,
I was told not to go for pneumatic as they are a pain if they deflate while in storage. The dealer recommended that I go for a wide wheel plastic instead.

I have used pneumatic jockey wheels since 1995 and I have never yet had one go down, I always check the pressure in it before going on a journey as I do with the van's road wheels and spare.

Our tourer days are over and we have moved on to a Hobby Motorhome
Get a track pump. They are ok for pumping up car tyres & are better than foot pumps imho. Then you would be able to adjust pressures in both jockey wheel & road tyres before you leave your storage.
John thats part of the security facility. There is a storage comopund and a collection compound. No-one is allowed in the storage only the collection compound. We like that and that's one reason why we chose it. It just requires a little notice so that the van can be made available.
