The smaller Jockey Wheel, because of it's offset "CASTOR" angle allows for maneuverability of the "A" Frame. That is the Jockey Wheel
They are both for different jobs. on the A frame.
The other big one is for moving the the Camper/Caravan around in places where it is too heavy to push. Using the handle in the ratchet mechanism
it can be very useful if you don't have a 12 volt electric Jockey wheel.
Have a look at the video.

Either will be quite adequate from a weight/strength perspective, so choose which is most convenient for you.
Cheers,

If it was just to support the aframe whilst camping I would use the smaller one. Lighter and easier. If you want to be pushing the van around??? I'd use the large one, especially on grass etc. Either will support the little poptop just fine.
Cheers, John.

Hi,
I have two Jockey Wheels that came with my little poptop van (both Al-ko) - which one would be stronger/support more weight, please?
I'm pretty sure the Al-ko Power Mover would be best on grass (fatter wheel) but is it the strongest? (pics attached)
Thanks!
