I have recently purchased an old Chesney Caravan, but need some advice. Last time I took the caravan away I had an old friend tell me the small wheels I had on it should be replaced as they are unable to go above 80 kph (about 55mph).

Is this likely to be true? If so do I just need to replace the wheels or bearings too?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Depneds on size but its the tyres that are the problem - Mini 10" wheels are quite safe at higher speeds
