Thread: A couple of trailer acessory related questions

My camper has an ATM of 650kg with a fair bit of weight on the nose. The standard jockey wheel is a hard rubber affair about 10" in diameter and work OK when on concrete but just digs in on any other surface casing a bit of grief. I would like to get something else - ideally something with air in it and some sort of rachet so that when I am unable to push it I can at least get some movement through the jockey wheel - I know absolutely nothing about these things and have seen for sale at supercheap for about $100 but have no idea about them at all. Advice appreciated.

I also know nothing about Porta Poties - I have had a test sit on a couple and they would seem to be all a bit small for a fully developed dairyaire. They also seem to be a bit close to the ground making it a bit hard for old bones to get up and down with you pants down around your ankles.

Likewise I have been known to bog up a dunny or two in my time so how much paper work are you allowed with Porti Portis? Likewise when on the move where do you store them? In the van, outside the van, roofrack, car???? etc and what is the chance of having a little disgusting accident.

Thanks

Regarding your jocky wheel problem Garry, as mentioned in another thread, you need to deal with the root cause of your problem - ie excessive weight on the front of your trailer. Unfortunately, the only real solution to that is to reposition the axle somewhat further forward. My father had to do this to a caravan we had many moons ago after almost being thrown off the road due to incorrect balance of the van.

‘The Call of Nature’

Have you ever been stuck in the middle of nowhere with no place to go?
Has this happened to you? You're at the campsite or in the middle of nowhere and suddenly nature calls. What do you do? You squeamishly go looking for a quiet spot behind a bush to do your thing. You cautiously avoid the poison oak and ivy. As you carefully squat down and try to relax a snake suddenly comes slithering through the weeds and startles you. What a mess!
Now when nature calls you can go in comfort where ever you are with the one and only Bumper Dumper®. No more looking for the right spot, no more trying to balance while squatting, and no more surprises from creepy critters. Just park your vehicle in a nice secluded spot, plug the Bumper Dumper® in to your trailer hitch receiver, and VOILA!! A portable toilet sturdy enough to hold 500 lbs. and just as comfortable as using the bathroom at home. You can even set up a privacy screen for complete comfort.
The Bumper Dumper® is great to have anywhere you go. No other portable toilet can compare to the support, stability and comfort that the Bumper Dumper® offers. The frame is made from quality steel and comes with a standard size toilet seat. It's the only portable toilet you can use your own seat on. Almost any standard size toilet seat can be mounted to the frame so you can attach a padded seat or the favorite seat of your choice. The Bumper Dumper® will last a long long time and it's light weight and so easy to use. If you have a trailer hitch receiver and travel or engage in outdoor activities where restrooms are far and few in between the Bumper Dumper® is a must have item.

Use the Bumper Dumper® when you need to go on the go.
