Scored a bargain
Permalink  

Whilst on our last tour I decided I would get a Trailamate Jockey Wheel. My old jockey wheel seemed to be getting harder to wind etc. Noticed that Repco were advertising 60% off towing equiptment. So went to our local store and asked if they had a Trailamate in stock. They had one only. The salesman checked the price and I could hardly believe it when he announced $200.80 cents. Snapped it up and said thanks Santa as I left the store.

Hi Glenn,

 We are like two pea's out of the same pod.smile

A dollar's a Dollar. You can't go broke saving many a $$$  in savings.smilesmilesmile

Go son go.

A fool and his money, are soon easy departed.cry

I to got one too a few weeks back @$310.10 again from Repco.

Last year I got their power Jockey wheel for $117.00. Works a treat.

You have Brained it. I love to beating them at their own game.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

The poo brigade will arrive soon.cry

Have a Merry Xmas.

Just a note on the problematic wind up jockey wheel.
Usually if the jockey wheel is hard to wind up all it taes to fix is a $5, easy to replace, bearing.
