The best skid wheels for your 31 foot Forest River Forester are going to be the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979012. The 5" diameter wheels are bolted to brackets which are welded onto your RV's frame. Please keep in mind skid wheels are only to help tail dragging when backing up and should not be relied upon to stop the full force of an RV from coming into contact with a steep driveway. They can help if the angle is such that the RV's rear truly does "skid" off the driveway, however. view full answer...

In order to choose the correct set of skid wheels you'll need to measure the square body on the trailer hitch and then choose the correct ones based on that.

If you have one of these two then the wheels will work well although they are technically designed for motorhomes

The 6-inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 use the same mounting plate as the smaller 5-inch model # UF48-979012 so you certainly can change to the 5-inch size if they better fit on your RV. My contact at Ultra-Fab confirmed the mounting brackets are the same.

Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979012 are designed for Class C RVs up to 34 feet long but do not have a weight capacity. A 10,000 pound 5th wheel trailer is going to weigh less than most 34 foot Class C RVs though, and the full weight of the trailer won't be on the wheels, so you can use them with your trailer.
