Hi Newbie here so sorry for the question in advance but any help would be appreciated! We have a 2016 Rpod 176 the trailer manufacture is Lippert.  I contacted them about what size wheel needed because an older thread mentioned that one owner tried several until he found one that fit after he called the manufacture of his (Domar) unfortunately they could not make a recommendation. Can I buy any 2" caster wheel with the appropriate load bearing requirements or is there something unique about the Rpod? Any suggestions and links to wheels purchased would be great. Thanks

I am pretty sure they are asking about the tongue jack. I am not sure I would recommend a wheel up there unless you are on perfectly flat ground. I have seen a couple pods move unexpectedly on what seemed flat ground.. and not so flat actually. They are pretty heavy and not prone to stopping once moving..

And thanks.. That was Dakota, best damn dog that ever peed on a tire. He was huge for a GR, 105lbs at his peak, and not a bit overweight. We lost him almost 3 years ago now, he was 14. We still have Maggie, our rescue, she just turned 13, and the pup Micah is an Irish Setter..
