WHY I LIKE THIS A-FRAME STAND

After investing a considerable amount of money into my new caravan , I was disappointed with the quality of the jockey wheel that was supplied . My fellow caravanners shared the same frustration , prompting me to conduct extensive research into finding a suitable solution to our jockey wheel dilemma .
While the factory-supplied jockey wheel , a well-known brand , served us well , it required removal before transit and re-fitting before unhitching , which became a cumbersome task . Furthermore , it was limited in its ability to handle uneven ground , requiring blocks of wood to reach desired heights .
Determined to find a better alternative , I searched for a replacement jockey wheel that met specific criteria : safety , strength , not too heavy in weight , and the ability to be mounted centrally for added stability . I also wanted it to be permanently mounted but adjustable to any terrain , easy to operate , and to have no underhang when in transit .
After thorough research , I discovered Ark Corporation , a reputable brand that has been manufacturing trailer and towing components for more than 40 years . The Ark team informed me of the range of centre-mount jockey wheels that met all of my criteria at a very affordable price .
