Hi,

We have just bought a jockey wheel mover for our Coachman Mirage 440/5. We have just found out that the jockey wheel is in the centre of the A frame at the front and is surrounded by fibreglass/PVC, not at the side as on all of our previous caravans.

We ideally need some form of bracket or adapter so that we can leave the standard jockey wheel in place and attach the mover jockey wheel as and when needed, is there any such item available?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

You can easily buy a jockey wheel clamp (most trailer places sell them) the question is where can you attach it to? If I recall the A frame on that model is enclosed so you'd need to cut away some of the fibreglass cover and then it's a question of how you attach the clamp to the A frame.

Usually they bolt through, but yours may not have the holes in place, and drilling them needs to be done such that you don't weaken the A-frame itself.

I'd go to a trailer specialist, rather than a caravan dealer. They'll probably do it a whole lot cheaper.

my clamp is welded to the chassis A frame side.
