Can Ultra Fab Skid Wheel be Used on 40 Foot RV

Question:

Im trying to figure out which roller is best for my application. The dry weight of our rig is 26,600 lbs, while I have plenty of clearance while on level ground, the hitch will rub on most driveways if Im not extremely careful. I am concerned about the weight bearing capacity of the different roller models. Also, a quick thanks to your team who answered my hitch pin question last week. I ended up buying a 3/4 and a 5/8 inch keyed alike locking hitch pins.

The Ultra-Fab steel roller # UF48-979021 doesn't have a weight capacity. It is almost solid steel, the bolt runs through the middle, so it can handle a significant amount of stress. But considering that your Winnebago is 43 feet long you might consider going with the larger model, # UF48-979023. It is 2-1/2 inches wide by 3 inches tall.

Either way the more of them you use the less stress and weight each individual one has to handle.
