Hi nelmo. www.Mobi-tyre.co.uk. Telephone no. 0800 055 6099. They come out to fit with no call out charge. Not used them yet but am planning to. I'd give them a ring and ask for advise
I just want to let you all know thatGlynnis51 is indeed correct. Mobi-tyre does come out to you where ever you are, roadside, home or campsite, so long as we cover you area.
We are able to work on caravan tyres and wheels and also have equipment that allows us to deal with wheels fitted with Tyreon bands. You're welcome to give us a call or visit the website that Glynnis has provided.
If caravan has Al-Ko chassis, 5 stud wheel will be 112mm pcd. Large caravan shops normally stock rims, best bet is to remove wheel from caravan, leave it jacked up & take wheel to shop to match up. Also stamped on rim will be rim width 5J or 5.5J.
Regarding the AA and caravan tyres, I had my caravan at my brother's house for a while, but when it came to bringing it back I set off and heard a bang and PFFFFFTTTTT. Great.
Checked the nearside tyre and the tyre itself was okay, the valve had blown! I tried using a wheel brace on the nuts - no joy - so I rang the AA for help. As the caravan was hitched up to the car, they sent a patrol out to me and advised I rang around local garages to get a new suitable tyre. 1.5hrs later the patrol arrived, after a bit of struggling got the wheel off, and took me to a garage to have a new tyre put on.
Once laiden with fresh rubber & a lighter wallet, they took me back to my brother's, fitted the wheel, job done! All this done on my AA membership (I believe Roadside Assistance + Relay).
If it was a matter of doing things with the tyre of a caravan on the roadside themselves, I wouldn't specifically know without contacting them.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
