seems to work fine (stable)...however, when i use the wheel, i do use the lock
mechanisim on the wheel as well as a wheel blockl...to remove the plate (wheel and the four bolts are welded to the plate) is quite easy since i use wing nuts to put on and remove the plate...i think i'm generally going to keep the my
"wheel" attached ,since there is more than adequate ground clearance when the tongue is up...by the way, i did not have to use four bolts...i'm sure three bolts would have been adequate and safe...in addition, you should understand, that i did keep the original barker plate (see my electric tongue jack (wheel addition) entry under modificatios...thanks bill s
