Question:
We have a 2015 Itasca Navion motorhome on a Mercedes Sprinter chasis. The motorhome is 25ft long. We have just purchased a new home with a fairly steep driveway. Since the road crowns when we enter the driveway we are in a low spot and the grade goes up starting at about 6 degree and progresses to 14 degrees within about 12 feet. The bottom of the chassis will definitely drag, because a small 16ft moving truck left some gouges in the concrete when its back end hit going both up and down the driveway. Do you think the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels will work in this situation, or do you have any other suggestions short of reconstructing the driveway? Your help is greatly appreciated,

Expert Reply:
From the sounds of your situation the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979014 seem to be a great solution. Sure beats damaging your driveway.
These are designed to attach to 2-1/2 inch square hitch tube on the motorhome. If you don't have this you can use # UF48-979012 that use brackets that weld to the RV.
