jockey wheel receiver
(Preview)
Hi Folks I would like to know if anyone has seen, or used, a jockey wheel receiver for a caravan dual jockey wheel. They are either made of plastic or rubber and the largest I have seen will suit a 8 - 10 inch jockey wheel. Would this be suitable for a dual wheel?. My dual wheel is 8 inches wide.
