My tiny tire does not fit over the opening of the hitch at the bottom of where we crank them to fit over the hitch. I hope you understand what I am saying here.
The dealership says those little tires are all the same size. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems. Mine will not slide over the pipe.
If I could get the tire on I could move my small camper when unhitched.
Anyone else ever have this problem?

So if I understand you are asking about the swiveling wheel that goes on the end of your tongue crank? Yes, to my knowledge they are all the same size. My tongue fits inside the swiveling wheel.

Yes, it is called a BAL Tongue Jack Caster Wheel. My tongue will not fit into the caster wheel.

According to their website, they make two models of this caster. There is a different dimension of the part that goes into the tongue jack. Perhaps you just need to exchange it for the smaller model.

No, I would need a slightly (and I do mean slightly) larger caster. The dealership suggested I take off the tongue part and play with it and maybe file it down some. I think the dealership will be taking a look at it when I get back from my trip. I think filing the rough edges might be the answer. The end of the tongue where the caster wheel goes on is not as even as I would think it might be. However I really don't want to take it apart and do the filing when it is under warantee.
