Jockey Wheels

The jockey wheel on my caravan is pneumatic and has perished so I decided to replace the tyre and tube. My local tyre people have been able to help and when I did an internet search I could not find a supplier for tyre and tube alone. I did find I could buy a new tyre and tube on a plastic rim for approx £10 or a tyre and tube mounted on a steel rim for approx £20. Any ideas or suggestions or pros / cons would be welcome.

Thanks

My local independent tyre firm was able to supply tyre and inner tube from stock. If you are anywhere near Teesside let me know and I will post his details.
 
Hello,

Fairly new to caravanning. I use a mover on our Bailey Pageant and I have noticed the solid plastic jockey wheel struggling a little on gravel and mud. Will a pneumatic type help? Are they better?

Many thanks

Chris
 
Hi

Pneumatic are definitely better with a mover on gravel. However - just got back from South of France where mine exploded in the sun. It must have heated up to a point where the pressure was too much - inner jockey wheel was plastic and it was blown apart.

Fortunately no damage done to the caravan and I was able to buy a new solid wheel locally. In future I would cover the pneumatic type with something to keep the heat off it.
