How do Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels Attach to 30 Foot 2020 Airstream Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Airstream 30 ft Flying Cloud. Do you have a side mount or L mount brackets for part number UF48-979011 with pre-drilled mounting holes that will line up with the Roller bracket.

There are bolt-on skid wheels, though the bolt-on options all require being mounted to a hitch, such as the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long # UF48-979015.

So you could use those of your Airstream has a trailer hitch with an exposed square crossbar, otherwise each of the skid wheels do need to have their brackets welded on. That includes the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979011 you mentioned. As outlined in the linked installation instructions, once the brackets are welded on, you can then bolt on the wheels.

I have added links to video reviews of both options for you to check out.
