Do you Have Smaller Wheels and Tires for My Teardrop Camper so I can Easily Store in Garage?
Updated 04/08/2025 | Published 04/05/2025
Question:
Hello Trailer, I need your input. I own a tear trailer that is presenting stored in my garage. The camper has large off-road 15 wheels. To get the camper in the garage I had to deflate the tires and remove the roof rack to get it in the 84 opening. It quit an ordeal! I want to try putting tiny wheels on the axles to roll the camper out of the garage, and then put the bigger wheels back on. Do you have any thoughts of available parts.

Hello Joe,
That definitely sounds like a hassle! We can absolutely help you out with some wheels and tires to make getting your trailer into the garage a bit easier. Can you let me know your current tire size and bolt pattern?
For example, if you’ve got a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST175/80R13 Radial Tire with 13" Silver Mod Wheel # KE35EV could be a great fit. When inflated, it measures about 23.8" in diameter and has a weight rating of 1,360 lbs at 50 psi, so with two tires, you’re good for 2,720 lbs total. I checked some specs on teardrop campers, and the heaviest ones usually top out around 2,500 lbs, so this combo should work just fine. I picked this one because it’s one of the most cost-effective options in that size.
Do you think that size could work for your setup? If not, just let me know the weight of your trailer (and confirm the bolt pattern) and I’ll see if we have an even smaller option that’ll do the job.

Hi Kate, The wheels are 6 lug at 5.5 . The tires on the camper are 235/75 15. I only need to move the camper out of the garage, but because of the opening height, I need to temporarily lower the camper. I will not be driving on the road with the tiny wheels because I have off-road tires.
