Recommended Skid Wheels for 35-Foot Travel Trailer

Question:

I have a travel trailer thats total length is just under 35foot 2014 Greywolf 29DSFB. I have scraped on several driveays and intersections, as well as my own driveway. It has factory skid bars triangle type, 1 of which is already slightly bent. I want to install skid wheels and am leaning towards caster style. I am a little worried about wheel lift and frame flex. Is this a big issue?

We do offer a range of skid wheels for travel trailers and all can be seen on the link at right.

Given the substantial 35-foot length of your Greywolf travel trailer I do suggest a caster type skid wheel since it will be able to rotate and so disengage from the road surface rather than stay locked into one position as fixed skid wheels do.

The set I suggest is the bolt-on 6-inch diameter Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 which are intended specifically for trailers longer than 34-feet.
