How To Choose Correct Skid Wheels for 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
We have a 42 foot fifth wheel and the back hitch frame digs into the road making our last turn into our neighborhood. Confused over the products. I see you sell swivel wheels, then steel rollers and last hitch protection wheel. Trying to better understand each one and what to install on our fifth wheel.

The steel rollers really all do the same thing, the main difference in all the options you see is how they mount. If you have a trailer hitch with 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" crosstube or 3" x 3" crosstube then the best option is the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Steel Rollers part # UF48-979017 or part # UF48-979018 as they simply bolt to the hitch with u-bolts, no drilling or welding required. If these won't work then the next best option is the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller for RVs with 2" Trailer Hitches part # UF48-979020.
