We had same problem with our last TT, put the casters on the rear. These work, BUT, please still go in and out driveways slowly and at an angle whenever possible. The wheels keep the bottom from dragging, but also PUSH UP the back end of the rig, placing some forces on the entire frame and rig.

We had lost camber on that TT and the manufacturer told us that if we had damaged the frame BECAUSE of the wheels that they would not pay. They can tell from examining the frame and springs and such, there is one place they look for damage (sorry this was 15 years ago and I cannot remember the exact location) but it was near the springs and axles. When you take a unit over driveways too fast with wheels on it will make a very definate mark on the frame.

Well, we had no marks, and in fact we had very little wear on those little wheels. The company was amazed when we told them how many miles we had on the unit (at that point over 10,000) with so little damage to the wheels. Their remark was something like, "Wow, you must really go in and out of driveways slow and careful, we have seen people wear out those wheels in 2 or 3,000 miles."

Be sure your unit is sitting level when hitched and if you go with the wheels, you are still want to be very careful with those driveways.

Good luck, enjoy your unit and let us know if you find out more.

Cheers,

Carol
