Pneumatic Jockey Wheel

Today I received the Pneumatic Jockey Wheel from http://www.busyoutdoors.com/.

It is a huge improvement over the plastic jockey wheel provided by Dutchman. The T@B rolls around so much easier. While it is quite a bit more expensive than just buying a spare assembly here in the US, to me as an often solo traveler, it is so worth it.

I have a ClamShell which has the shortest available space on the tongue, and it "just" fits in the up position, so folks with the other floor plans will have plenty of clearance for it in the up position.Here is the old jockey wheel.


The only negative with the whole thing is that the valve stem for adding air is a bit hard to get to.

Thanks for reading!!

Coming next, I'm going camping this weekend at Hugh White State Park in Mississippi.

Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to upgrade for some time now...do you have a part number to reference on their site?

We have a 2005 T@B here in AZ.
