Recommended Skid Wheels For RV With Long Overhang Towing A Trailer

Question

Question:

My RV has a long overhang and sometimes it will bottom out on a driveway or an entrance. I do raise the trailer 2inch higher than level. I dont seem to have a sway problem. Wondering if there was some kind of wheel device that could attached to my hitch that would prevent bottoming out the trailer. Towing a 6X10 trailer with a RV with a long overhang.

We have skid wheels exactly for this issue. The skid wheels attach to your vehicle hitch frame and allow you to deflect the hit to your vehicle frame, bumper, or panels. This will help prevent dragging and protect your undercarriage from unnecessary damage. I recommend the Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long - 4" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979014. If your RV is longer than that, then hitch mounted is no longer and option, but we have the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34' Long - 5" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979012 and the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer - 6" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979013.

We have just what you need to replace your landing gear motor M9000PK with the #LC196308 and you'd be set! This is a confirmed fit for what you have and is a faster motor too so your jacks will raise and lower quicker.
