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.by: Dan01/10/2024
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.
by: Debs06/14/2023
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.
by: Daniel 02/24/2024
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.
by: Troy03/19/2023
The wheels did well. The frame would not hold the weight. I had a welder weld vertical supports on the frame..all is well.
by: Jon S.12/17/2016
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.
by: Paul09/27/2022
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.
by: Jake T08/04/2016
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.
by: Surfndad08/12/2022
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.
by: Hal 08/19/2023
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.
by: Ozzz Metal Fabrication05/31/2020
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!
by: Leon10/07/2018
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!!
by: Ronald11/05/2021
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.
by: Jerry T06/05/2017
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.

They did not last at all. The cast metal around the wheel blew up in pieces
by: Scott08/24/2022
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
by: Darrell07/07/2018
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.
by: Joseph09/29/2018
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
by: James03/07/2021
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.

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.
by: Rory02/14/2018
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.
by: Harvey G11/23/2020
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.

See what our Experts say about this Ultra-Fab Products RV Skid Wheels
- Skid Wheels Compatible with 35 Foot Long RVThe Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long - 4" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979015 is not suitable according to the manufacturer. I recommend the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 as an option for your trailer hitch receiver. The Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer - 6" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979013 are the best option for your RV so I recommend going that route eventually when you can find someone to weld the plates for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels for 35-Foot Travel TrailerWe do offer a range of skid wheels for travel trailers and all can be seen on the link at right. Given the substantial 35-foot length of your Greywolf travel trailer I do suggest a caster type skid wheel since it will be able to rotate and so disengage from the road surface rather than stay locked into one position as fixed skid wheels do. The set I suggest is the bolt-on 6-inch diameter Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 which are intended specifically for trailers longer than 34-feet.
view full answer... - How do the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 InstallActually the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 that you referenced installs with it's included hardware and would not require you to come up with U-bolts to install the rollers. If you wanted to use U-bolts you would need to provide your own. To match up to the mounting plate the u-bolt will need to be 3-1/4 inches apart measured on center. For more information check out the installation instructions I attached to the right.
view full answer... - What Skid Wheels do You Recommend for My 24-Foot Trailer?Thanks for reaching out to us here at etrailer. Are you looking for the most advanced tread? Also, what tire size are you looking for on your trailer? Thanks!
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels for 2019 Forest River FR3 MotorhomeFor your 2019 Forest River FR3 motorhome I recommend the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 because it is designed for use on Class A motorhomes like yours. These skid wheels attach securely to a plate that is welded onto your motorhome's frame to ensure stability and security. I have attached a link to a video review of these wheels for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Skid Wheel Recommendation for 38 Foot 5th Wheel TrailerFor your 5th wheel camper, I recommend the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013. These skid wheels install to the frame of the camper rather than the trailer hitch. When the wheels are attached to the hitch, they can cause clearance problems and the hitch is the component that takes much of the force of the skid wheel. With skid wheels that are mounted to the frame you are less likely to damage the hitch. I have attached a review video of these skid wheels for you.
view full answer... - Skid Wheels that are Larger In Diameter than 4 inch Ultra Fab Skid WheelsUltra Fab does have a version of their skid wheels for RVs that have a 6 inch diameter wheel with the part # UF48-979013. These are going to contact the ground sooner which would prevent you from having to remove your SnapPads.
view full answer... - Can Skid Wheels be Used to Help Keep 5th Wheel Trailer from Bottoming Out with Steep DrivewayYou definitely can install the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 on your 42' 5th wheel but it is worth noting that the wheel and caster plate measures 7-1/2" tall so if the 16-1/4" that you measured is from the frame rail then that means your ground clearance will be reduced to 8-3/4" which really isn't much at all. If your frame sits below the skirting on your 5th wheel trailer then you should be able to use a shorter option like the Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller # UF48-979021 which...

- Recommended Skid Wheels for a 40' Long 2023 Forest River Sabre 5th WheelI recommend going with the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer # UF48-979013. This skid wheels are meant to be used on RVs larger than 34' long like your Forest River Sabre, uses 2 6" diameter 1/4" thick urethane caster wheels, and will be welded onto your RVs frame.
view full answer... - Skid Wheels Recommendation for a Boat TrailerThe only frame mounted skid wheels we offer are designed to bolt to the trailer frame like the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013. The wheels of this kit are 6 inches in diameter, the # UF48-979011 uses 4 inch wheels instead.
view full answer... - Will Air Bags Allow 2004 Ford F-53 Motorhome to Raise 4 InchesNope, air springs like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57410 won't raise your 2004 Ford F-53 four inches; if the back end of your motorhome was sagging, or if you wanted your rig to handle better with less body roll then these are perfect. But air bags don't lift your vehicle above normal ride height. The best I can offer are skid wheels (if you don't have them) which you can put on the rear of your motorhome to help stop the back end from dragging. There are two options...
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel For 6 inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs # UF48-979013Each size wheel is meant for a certain type of motorhome. Class C motorhomes tend to be smaller than the class A motorhomes and that's why the 5 inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheel # UF48-979012 is for Class C motorhomes and the 4 inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheel # UF48-979011. So since certain wheels are meant for certain types of motorhomes, it's safe to say that they do not have the same strength capabilities. If you just broke the wheel here is a 6 inch replacement # UF48-001013.
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels for 33-Foot 2006 Montana Mountaineer 307RKD 5th WheelFor a 33-foot 5th wheel the set of skid wheels I recommend is the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979013 which are better suited to your trailer than the # UF48-979012 which are intended for Class C motor homes.
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels For 2017 Jayco Pinnacle Fifth Wheel Trailer 36-Ft LongThe skid wheels I recommend for your 36-ft Jayco fifth wheel trailer are part # UF48-979013. These are recommened for RVs 34-ft and longer and bolt to the trailer frame. These are 6-inch wheels with a 1/4 inch thick urethane layer on the outer edge of each wheel.
view full answer... - Can Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels Be Mounted To A Trailer Hitch Receiver The intended installation for both the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 and # UF48-979012 is that you would weld the mounting bracket to the frame and bolt the skid wheel to the bracket. There isn't an indicator for these working with a trailer because the manufacturer only wants these mount to the frame, which is strong enough to handle the pressure unlike your trailer hitch. The trailer hitch is designed to to support weight at the receiver and evenly distribute it down the crosstube...
view full answer... - Skid Wheels for Motorhome to Prevent Scraping When Backing into Parking SpotFor preventing scraping when backing a motorhome into a spot typically the best solution is to use a set of skid wheels like the part # UF48-979013 for motorhomes that are 34 feet and longer or the part # UF48-979011 for less than 30 feet. The install of water heaters like the Furrion Tankless water heater like part # FR98SR should only be done by a professional.
view full answer... - Swiveling Skid Wheel Recommendation for 2018 Jayco North PointThe only solution we offer that covers most of what you said you need is the Ultra Fab Skid Wheels part # UF48-979013. This is the only swiveling solution that's going to work on an RV that's longer than 34 feet like your 2018 Jayco North Point. The brackets of these need to get welded to the frame though and then from there the wheel assemblies get bolted to them.
view full answer... - Skid Wheel Recommendation for Rear Bumper of RV AvailabilityThe part number you listed is pretty close to the part # UF48-979021 which we do carry. Or maybe the part # UF48-979013. The rollers are 6 inches in diameter and are designed for RVs that are 34 feet and longer. You would need to attach these to the frame of your trailer though. To see all of the skid wheels we offer check out the link I attached.
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels for 34 Foot Travel TrailerI can help you figure out which skid wheels are right for your trailer. The way to pick out skid wheels is based off of the length of the trailer. For your 34 foot travel trailer I recommend the Ultra-Fab 6 inch skid wheels # UF48-979013. A good rule of thumb is the longer the RV, and the greater the distance between the rear of the RV and the back axle, the greater the force the skid wheels will have to deal with. The smaller 5 inch skid wheels # UF48-979012 would probably work, but...
view full answer... - Skid Wheel Recommendation for 34 Foot RV That Bolt OnFor an RV 1 inch away from being 34 feet I would recommend the frame mount skid wheels for 34 foot RVs part # UF48-979013. This will work well with your steep driveway. These are designed to have the plated welded to the frame and then the assembly bolted on like you mentioned wanting to do as well.

- Wheel Diameter of the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013The wheels of the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 are 6 inches in diameter. From the attachment point down this will extend down 7-5/8 inches.
view full answer... - Skid Wheels for 36 Foot Long Toy HaulerFor a weld on set of skid wheels for your 36 foot long Toy Hauler the best option is the part # UF48-979013 which was designed for RVs longer than 34 feet and are a weld on application.
view full answer... - Skid Wheel Recommendation for 38 Foot Long Fifth Wheel TrailerFor RV's longer than 34 feet we have the skid wheels part # UF48-979013 which would work great on your 38 foot RV. These don't have a weight capacity but based on the length of your RV and the intended design of these wheels these would work well. I attached a review video for these wheels for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Skid Wheels For 2015 Passport Grand Touring Travel Trailer 35 Feet LongSince you have back jack stabilizers on your 2015 Passport Grand Touring travel trailer, I recommend using the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer - 6" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979013. I recommend welding the skid wheel brackets as close to those stabilizers as you can so that they can still function, but so you can also protect them best on those up hills. These are very sturdy wheels to protect your undercarriage and accessories from unnecessary damage, however you will...
