Well, what can I say about this jockey wheel, it’s just fantastic, and one things for sure, you certainly get what you pay for. I bought a so called “ heavy duty “ jockey wheel off e bay for 25 quid. Frankly it was absolute crap and it failed on the second trip out. The wheel actually buckled ! The tyre although only 4 months old was perished and splitting all the way around both side walls and on the tread surface. It was basically scrap and the supplier who shall remain nameless wouldn’t compensate me by way of a refund, they just wanted me to have an exchange. . . for another piece of junk ! I’ve been a caravaner for 35 years but have to admit to not knowing much about jockey wheels or where to buy one. The one I bought had about a 10” rubber tyre on it so I thought it would be much better on my gravel drive, which it was till it failed on the caravan site. And my nose Wight was correct at 100 kgs, which I am meticulous about. This Alko jockey wheel is not cheap, but my god it’s well made and heavy, and very well engineered. The wheel runs smooth and freely with no play and the added bonus of the built in suspension is brilliant on a rough surface. The wheel itself is about 3 inches wide so gives a good even distribution of the weight. The second added bonus of the built in noseweight gauge is great too. I set my noseweight up the old fashioned way with a noseweight gauge in the socket of the hitch. I then fitted this new jockey wheel, and bingo, it was bang on the 100 kgs I’d set it up to with the noseweight gauge so it’s very accurate. I would like to concur with Ray Coopers thoughts in his review further up this page, I don’t know why high end caravans don’t come with this jockey wheel as standard, as I too have a heavy twin axle Coachman caravan. When you’re paying up to 40 k for a caravan I would happily pay an extra hundred quid to have one of these on it, even if it was an optional extra, it’s a no – brainier ! It’s very simple and quick to fit as well as the winding handle is removable so you just shove the complete assembly up the hole in the A frame, tighten the clamp and it’s done. This jockey wheel has made such a massive difference to the previously tedious task of moving my van on a loose gravel drive and I for one can’t praise it enough. And thanks to to Western Towing for their speedy despatch and delivery.

Great price and very quick delivery. Easy to change over and set up for correct noseweight reading in under 15 mins. Great improvement over the basic (plastic wheeled) jockey fitted as original.

Having struggled with my existing jockey wheel, I decided to buy the heavy duty Al-ko with integral nose weight gauge.
It was delivered within a couple of days and fitted within an hour.
It is considerably heavier than a standard jockey wheel

EXCELLENT PRICE AND SERVICE. YET TO REPLACE IT WITH MY EXISTING JOCKEY WHEEL BUT IT LOOKS THE PART.

Purchased a very expensive brand new Coachman Laser Xcel caravan and extremely disappointed that it came with the industry standard plastic jockey wheel. When using the 4WD motor mover the plastic wheel would generally scrape across the tarmac or concrete and sink into the gravel on campsites and just drag. After using the plastic one for 2 short breaks enough was enough. Why this wheel isn’t sold with top end caravans I do not know. Only used it once so far and the quietness and response to the motor-mover is so much better, no dragging or pushing but quickly turns to get the caravan going in the right direction. Haven’t tested on gravel yet but the wheel being substantially wider and a sprung system hoping it will be great. Very easy to change over – just jack up the front of the caravan and fully unwind the existing jockey wheel and the bottom falls off (as it is supposed to), unwind the locking collar and lift the top half out of the hole. Unclip the red winder on the Premium wheel and insert the whole thing from the bottom side up in to the hole, no need to disassemble, clip the red winder back on! Job done in less than 15 minutes and looks so much better. Yes it’s a lot for a jockey wheel but it looks good and better still it moves good. If you are thinking of it, then buy it. Haven’t tried the weight gauge yet but that wasn’t the purpose of buying it – will set this up so the tow ball is at it’s correct weight, around 100kg which will set up a better tow.

Excellent product and easy to remove the old jockey from the swift elegance and replace with the new one. Much easier to manoeuvre the caravan with the new jockey wheel, particularly on gravel.

veryeasy to put on and exactly what I wanted. Thde problem I had was that the old jockey was not remaining uo and twice fell to run on the road scoring off all the tread on the wheel. That was caused by the tightening bracket had stripped and there was not enough thread to hold the jockey. once this was rebored and a new holding bolt installed all is very well again. Setting etc was easy and straight forward. Getting delivery was a trial and the telephone was needed to chase up it’s delivery
