Skid wheels like part # UF48-979014 are intended to prevent damage to the underside of RVs and would work well on a fifth wheel camping trailer if you have a hitch attached to the rear of your trailer. These skid wheels will fit square hitches that measure 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches.

For skid wheels intended for trailers like your fifth wheel I recommend part # UF48-979011. This includes the hardware to bolt this set of skid wheels to your trailer.

If you are interested in 6 inch wheels, I recommend part # UF48-979013.

We have had customers send in great comments about the use of these. The skid wheels are great when encountering bumps or dips in the road.
