Will do this job on our 22ft caravan

Acceptable quality and should get the job done. One of the two coaster wheels arrived with a broken grease fitting. Given the design, fit was not critical as there are other ways to easily lubricate ball bearings on a swivel.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Powerful and durable

Only one ticket for the back of my 27ft Class C RV. We have a steep driveway to a street corner and it would be awful not to scrape it. Went like clockwork. A swivel wheel probably won't last as long as a regular wheel, but it works much better in corners when backing up.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Some cons

Total dissatisfaction, don't waste your time and money!

Installation went smoothly until I started lubricating the bearings on the first try and the mirror broke off. It appears to be brass, not steel. Now I have to at least remove the wheel and try to swap out the DSLR if possible or find new wheels. Such crap for sale! The first time I left my entrance the wheel broke - see photo. It's worth nothing.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • ---

see - immobilizers and pads

All parts were present and seem quite heavy. There is a bearing seal on it. Haven't used it yet, let's see how it holds up. I welded the plates to the trailer frame and then bolted the wheels to the plate. This means that the wheels can be replaced in the future if necessary.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are cons

The metal cauldron collapsed in less than 3 months.

Purchased and installed in June 2017 due to access road issues. Mine looked just like the picture in the 1 star review of the 6" version up until the end of September 2017. Broken pot. During that time the RV made 7 smooth rides up and down the driveway and one parking lot. much easier spin There has to be a harder wheel somewhere.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Unsuccessful 1st timeout.

Our new house has a steep driveway and I pulled/scratched the bumper about 2 feet getting in and out. I just installed them in our RV this weekend when we went out for the last time this year before packing it up for the winter. At the end of our journey, as I turned onto a gravel road, I slowed my pace to touch it as gently as possible. I was optimistic at first as I parked on the curb to inspect the situation. I didn't hear any rattling like before, nor did I feel the familiar "pull". But as…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Hard to tell
