Does any one know the recommended tyre pressure for Alko jockey wheel. The dealer is unsure. At present I have it at around 27 psi. Thanks.

Hi Ian, my caravan handbook (Avondale) claims 25psi for the alko pneumatic jockey wheel. Hope this helps.
I was told 30psi for a plastic jockey wheel after I inflated mine to 3.5 bar as on my old steel wheel tyre the recommended max was 4 bar
The reason for stopping at 3.5 bar was explosion of the plastic wheel
A red faced smiley is called for
Strangely the tyre on the plastic wheel had no pressure given

Alko have told me it is 30 psi for standard wheel and 50 psi for heavy duty wheel. At first they did not know and had to make a few inquiries before getting back to me which is what they did.
Most of the aftermarket pneumatic jockey wheels are cr*p. They have 2 ply tyres which have a low load capacity( 75kg) my van has 110kg noseweight. I bought one from Towsure. Within 6 months the tyre disintegrated. God knows how old it was. Couldn't find receipt hence no come-back. Have since searched (researched?) these products. There are now some steel wheels with bearings but most of those have 2 ply tyres so are not worth the
