Recommended Replacement Trailer Jack Caster Wheel for Aliner Camper

Published 09/04/2015

Question:

Trailer Jack wheel-Im looking for a trailer Jack wheel that maneuvers better than the standard one I have on my new Aliner camper. It weighs about 2300 lbs. I like the idea of the dual wheel. Would need to pin onto the existing Jack on the tongue. Any options?

We do offer replacement trailer jack caster wheel assemblies for three diameters of jack tube, 1-3/4-inch, 2-inch and 2-1/4-inch. I linked a page that will show you all such items from Pro Series, Shelby and others.

I checked the camper parts catalog on the Aliner website but they do not specify any details about the brand, model, capacity or tube diameter of their OEM jacks. The Fulton Wide-Track Wheel Assembly for Fulton F2 Adjustable A-Frame Jacks # F500266 that you referenced fits only their F2 series jacks, such as # F1413250334 which is rated for 2000-lbs. Based on the photos on the Aliner website they do not appear to supply this particular jack on their camper trailers.

You can measure the inner tube's diameter on your jack to allow you to select the appropriate replacement caster wheel. The just click on that size on the linked page to see suitable wheel assemblies. You may be able to find a jack manufacturer on the outer tube and this will also help simplify the process of finding compatible parts.

For example, if your jack inner tube's diameter is 2-inches you could use Replacent 6-Inch Caster wheel # BD500245 which is rated for 1200-lbs. Note that often a wheel assembly can be rated for less total weight than the jack itself. In such cases the lower-rated part determines overall capacity.
