We just ordered the foot and wheel also to have with us for the trip to the ERU.
Having trouble finding the stabilizer info on the domar web site.

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but unless your jack cranks up higher than mine does (or you plan to cut a few inches off of it) that wheel will be touching the ground even when the jack is fully retracted. I added a caster to mine last year, and while it allowed me to move the r-pod around, once I hooked up to my vehicle the wheel touched the ground...
... and if you DO plan to cut the jack a bit shorter then I fear that it will not crank up high enough to back your vehicle under, and once it's cut you can't put it back on.
FYI, I did install a side-mounted swivel jack which worked well but only on very hard surfaces, so I took it off.

tedbear: The wheel and pad I got are removable/interchangable. I don't know what the clip is called, but depending on the need before I take the pod off the TV I would put one of these on. (i.e. if I'm going to use the wood block I use the pad, if I think i may need to roll the pod I'll put on the wheel). They both come off and go into the tool box I have mounted next to the battery, along with all the other things you need for hitching up/locking/stablizing.
I remeber a post (yours I think) earlier about putting on the caster and having to cut the pipe, which is why I like this interchangeable setup as a solution.
As I've said before "those who can't do.....SHOP"
(ladies are you with me on that one)

... good information... I just don't want people thinking that they can put the caster on and leave it on permanently, though we all wish that was possible. Maybe someone makes a replacement jack that would do the job (besides a side-mounted swivel jack, which does work).

Its definitely a question of balance .....
The only time Id use the wheel is when on level solid ground. The foot is whats mostly on it and it doesnt take up much clearance, but i remove it anyway when towing.
Interchangable is what I like about the foot and wheel we ordered from Domar!!
