I bought a swivel caster for mine that actually works pretty good. Got it
off Amazon, The specifc one I ordered is not available anymore but it was a
cheap chinese brand. I took a chance on it because it was super cheap on
sale. If I needed another one I'd probably check reviews on eTrailer. The
reviews seem a lot more honest over there.
