Whether you need strength, convenience, or better flotation on soft terrain — we’ll supply the right solution.
This is determined by the weight of the caravan, the drawbar height, and the terrain. Light caravans often use 48mm, while heavy or off-road caravans benefit from 60mm or auto jockeys.
A standard jockey requires manual winding and locking, while an auto jockey automatically retracts the wheel once it has been winded to the maximum height.
Fatty wheels (11″ or 13″) spread weight over a larger surface area, preventing the jockey from sinking into sand, grass, mud, or loose gravel. They’re ideal for off-road caravans, coastal camping, and sandy driveways.
Yes, most jockey wheels can be bolted or clamped on. However, if any welding, modification, or heavy-duty mounting is required, a professional installation is recommended.
Yes — larger diameter wheels roll more smoothly, especially over uneven surfaces. Fatty wheels also distribute weight better and reduce drag.
Not always. Sizes, tube diameters, and mounting methods vary. That’s why choosing one based on weight rating, tube diameter (48mm vs 60mm), and terrain is important.
An 11” or 13” fatty jockey wheel is the best option because it does not sink and provides far better traction.
A jockey wheel is only designed to support the nose weight, not the total weight. You must ensure your jockey is rated for the nose load of your caravan.
