I park my camper, 3700 pounds in my driveway which has a slight incline, about 10 degrees. I can pull it out with my truck but not if my truck is loaded. The trailer drags on the ground when I reach the highest point where the street levels off. So I have to pull the trailer out, park it on the street then fill my truck and then go back to pulling the trailer.
Could I use a jack caster wheel to solve this problem, or will the wheel break?
Thank you
IMO that is an excellent way to ruin your trailer's frame by potentially bending it. Trailers are not designed to be supported by only the ball and the opposite very end of the trailer which is exactly what a solid wheel can have the potential to do. The typical "skids" will bend/crush and I believe are there to give you a "warning" thru noise/drag that things aren't right.
As recommended already use boards/blocks something to use the wheels to raise the offending end side to clear whatever you are having problems getting over.
