Attach these sturdy steel wheels to the rear of your RV to help prevent tail dragging when backing up. Protect your undercarriage from unnecessary damage.These wheels are super heavy duty. I have a 43 foot 5th wheel and have installed them on my trailer hitch cross bars. Once I bought the u-bolts separately they installed very easily. I followed the instructions for the proper hitch installation to be safe. I did receive one wheel with a zerk fitting falling out due to stripped threads. E-Trailer immediately sent a replacement wheel and expedited delivery to get me on the road. The poly urethane wheels roll very smoothly. I haven't towed the rig yet but my driveway is steep and I'll be putting them to the test soon.
Bought for our 36ft travel trailer. We had skids rollers added to the rear in order yo back it up our driveway way. Ones that were originally installed were purchased through our camper garage and busted. These bought through etrailer are heavy duty and made so much better.
This product was as described and has proven to work well for protecting the back of our fifth wheel camper. We ended up welding an additional piece to the frame for optimal position and fit on our camper. My only suggestion would be for etrailer to repackage the item in additional padding and extra box because it arrived with the box torn and many pieces missing. etrailer had excellent customer service in providing the missing parts.
We bought these for our camper in 2018 and we broke one and needed to reorder. They are exactly we needed because of the incline of our driveway and length of camper.
The wheels did well. The frame would not hold the weight. I had a welder weld vertical supports on the frame..all is well.
Within 2 weeks of installing these skid wheels they literally crumbled and disintegrated. To say the least I am very disappointed and feel that they were a big waste of money. I would not recommend this item to anyone.
Nice solid units, Good delivery. Had to make a replica top set to attach to a 37' travel trailer without welding. We have steep gravel driveway that has been damaging the rear jacks, Good clearance now.
Easy to install, and work as advertised. Very sturdy construction as these are the 'big boys', rated for Class A and large trailers over 34'. We have a 44' Cyclone Toyhauler, and these are a MUST! Highly recommend for anyone needing to prevent their RV undercarriage from dragging when going through low spots in the road.
If it wasn't for wheels I would have had to remove and replace my driveway to change the grade. At $10,000 for a new driveway this was a much better choice and it didn't only solve the problem at home, anywhere there is a steep grade the back of the fifth wheel doesn't drag and damage the camper.
Bolted them to the frame behind the jacks. Fairly easy. Just took my time drilling the holes and getting them lined up. Seems to be really heavy duty and durable.
My customer is very happy with the product. We built a custom bumper with these wheels for his 5th wheel trailer to protect the auto-leveler system. Work like a charm!
Worked perfect for my 40ft. Park Model. I had them welded on just in front of the scissor jacks. Works perfect and prevents the ass from dragging going up my steep driveway!!
The concept is great, the skid wheel supporting frame is great, the wheel itself is cast and not near strong enough, I feel If it had more mass between the bearing portion and the wheel surface it would hold up better to the weight it is supposed to protect.
The wheels have broke several times on my 37 foot rv, but so far they are the only ones that I could find.

Thank you for your feedback. I checked and this part # UF48-979013 is the only option that we currently offer for RVs that are 34ft and longer. Keep in mind that none of the skid wheels that we offer are recommended for use on a diesel pusher motorhome due to the extreme amount of rear-end weight.

At this Point the wheels have not broken, Even if they do it will still give some protection of the back end of the RV.
This product is all it was advertised as. I have a 16000lb 5th wheel RV. There is approximately 17' of trailer behind the real tandems. The rear bumper has about 22" ground clearance. The skid wheels have about 14" ground clearance. The cast steel with the polyurethane coating is a good combination. These skid wheels has save the RV from dragging. I would recommend these skid wheels.

As advertised
They did not last at all. The cast metal around the wheel blew up in pieces
Part seemed like it would be fine. Have a 38ft 5th wheel and a semi steep driveway where the rear was digging in by inches when backing in, so I just needed a small lift. Was all ready to weld these on until I realized that for my specific trailer the placement of them wouldn’t give me enough clearance, so I stopped and returned (took off the bumper instead to fix my problem, lol). They were heavy duty and would have done the job for sure, though.
For etrailers part, they took it back no questions asked less the shipping I had to pay to return. Would order here again. No issues
I installed these on a 27 foot Motorhome with about 12 feet of overhang behind the rear wheels. They have contacted the ground quite a few times, sometimes unexpected but have held up very well. I would recommend this kit for anyone having trouble dragging the back of there RV on the ground.

I have had the skid wheels on my motor home about a year now, and they have worked flawlessly. There is a lot of overhang past the rear wheels, so they contact the ground a lot in and out of driveways. After one year they are still like new. A great product for protecting the undercarriage of your RV.
They were easy to install and they solved my tail dragging problem. I would definitely purchase again if I bought a new 5th wheel.

They are doing the job keeping from dragging the tailend. Installed them on 43’ fifth wheel
Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels- 6" Dia were welded on our 36ft RV in 2016. Our driveway has very steep grade transition. The wheels have worked wonderfully at home and on the road . We had to stiffen up the RV frame before the wheels were installed to the frame. Most of the time I try to slowly move through questionable grades changes so to allow the wheels to swivel to the intended support position. I’ve seen other similar wheels that were damaged from sudden weight and directional changes.
second pair , Love them will save the rear of camper from thousands in damage from dragging ,they work in dirt also , campers are getting longer , must have

Had ultra fab on my 5th wheel for 10 years or so, and pulled up my steep driveway many times. They lasted through this punishment the whole time.
Bought a motor home and put same wheels on it, but over hang prevented me from getting up our very steep driveway. They have prevented damage through dips and other driveways, but it I had dropped the wheels for my driveway, the drive wheels would have been in the air.
Love them anyway. Plan to get another 5th wheel, and will install on it.
I purchased these wheels for the tail end of my 34 foot travel trailer. I took my trailer to Ketchikan, Alaska via ferry. The ramps getting on and off of the ferry were very steep and the wheels kept the back of the trailer from dragging and causing damage.
These wheels did exactly what was advertised and more. I would recommend the wheels to anybody who drives an RV up or down a steep incline. They will prevent any damage from scraping the back of the RV. I will install a set of these wheels on any RV that I own in the future.
I attached these skid wheels to the rear of my 42 foot fifth wheel trailer because my driveway slopes to the street. they support the weight of the trailer and prevent the spare tire and the rear of the trailer from dragging. They work very well.
Do you have a question about this RV Skid Wheel?
