It is. It was $20 at the dealer and slides right over the end of the jack. There's a retainer pin that slides through it and through the holes on the jack. The wheel's rated to 1000lbs (far above tongue weight) so no worries there. It really makes moving the pod around the driveway by hand and doing final positioning at the campsite easy.

I'm assuming you mean the tongue jack?

Here's a company I brought mine from (as well as stablizers, and foot). I really use the foot more then the wheel, gives the tongue a little more surface.

The OEM jack that comes with the Pod is usually a Domar product. I recommend the URL address given by Butterfly_Lee. I found that non-Domar caster wheels never really fit the Domar jack correctly.
I bought and returned three different brands of caster wheels which were either too large or too small even tho' the sizes stamped were the same! The only wheel that fit perfectly was the Domar caster wheel and it was the least expensive! |

Be careful with that wheel on the front jack. Make darned sure you are on level ground and/or have the wheels chocked reallly good. Our pod just about got away from us the first time we unhitched with the wheel on the front! Darned near scare the crap out of me
We talked all season about the axle risers and I finally ordered them from FR. Cost me around $75 and two shipments before they got the right ones to me. I have a trailer dealer/service center one mile from my house and they installed them for me for $100. I think it looks better and I will be more comfortable pulling it to the campground next spring knowing I have that extra clearance. Now we are going to replace the single fold out step with a double one to make it easier on the entry and exit. Especially easier on my Doxies!
