I used 1/4 inch plates on each side, which gives it plenty of stregth to support the weight. I am very pleased with performance of this set up. My neighbors are happy that the rig does not cut up the road and the set up actually looks as good as it performs. I was happy to engineer a solution without welding anything to the rig. A simplistic solution that works. Will post pics once I change out the wheels. For now We are just enjoying the RV as we see different parts of the country.

Can you point me to the 2.5 inch wide casters? I am going to try to fab a set for my coach.
