Today we're going to review part number UF48-979017 this is the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Steel Rollers for RVs with a 2-1/2" square hitch tube, this is for a quantity of 2. This part includes everything shown here on the table. It comes with the 2 skid rollers, the 2 mounting plates, the 4 U bolts, and then 8 lock nuts. These parts will help prevent damage to your motor home's undercarriage by mounting these steel wheels to your rear trailer hitch receiver. These unique rollers will clamp around the crossbar of your RV's rear hitch to prevent any tail dragging and digging in while backing up. Mounting hardware is all included.
They are made of a heavy duty steel construction which is extra durable. The wheels themselves are a solid steel so they do hold up very well. The specs on this again, it's designed to fit on a 2-1/2" by 2-1/2" square hitch tube. The diameter of these rollers themselves is 3" and the quantity is again for 2 of them. When you go to install these, what you do is start on one side of the hitch and you're going to drop these U bolts right over the top of your hitch tube. With those hanging down what you'll do is take your mounting plate, put it on top of your rollers and then just line those up, your U bolts will come right down through there.
This will be mounted around your square hitch tube, and then using the lock nuts you'll go ahead and put the lock nuts on and tighten it down to the right specs. The thing I do want to mention is once you get these installed after it's all installed you want to grease the bearings that are on the inside of these solid steel rollers on each one end there's a zerk fitting. What you'll do is get a grease gun, put it on that zerk fitting, then you can pump that grease into these solid steel wheels to help with the wear and tear on them. Just to give you a few dimensions on the mounting plate, the longest portion of it is going to be about 5-3/8", this is right at 4", then the measurement on the center to center on the holes is about 4-1/4" that way and this way is at about 3-1/8" that way. That should do it for the review of part number UF48-979017 these are the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Steel Rollers for Rvs with 2-1/2" square hitch tubes. .

Help prevent damage to your motorhome's undercarriage by mounting these steel wheels to your rear trailer hitch receiver. Rollers clamp around 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" square hitch tubing.Great company. Order shipped same day and arrived on time. The casters fit perfectly and installed in less than an hour. I tested backing out of our steep driveway and the performed exactly as desired. 367807
I have not mounted these wheels yet. I was amazed how fast that I got these wheels. I think that these wheels will save me from dragging the hitch on my motor home. I will send you picture once I get the wheels mounted. 332406
Easy installation, grease fittings worked perfectly on my handheld gun, impressed with the build quality. First test in the field on my 32 foot class a motorhome, they did exactly what they were supposed to do, I think it's an excellent product at a very good price. 253385
Theses are heavy duty and very easy to install. Appear to be high quality and have lasted a year without issue. I bought these because of scraping the bottom of the hitch on my motorhome especially when backing up and pulling out of my sloped driveway and these definitely have helped. Easy to lube as well with a hand pump grease gun. 493981
This product was very easy to install. It has provided protection for the underside of our coach from hitting the ground on several occasions. 693769
Just what my Diesel Pusher RV needed! Nearly every diesel pusher needs to have this product! I wish I would have had a pair of these on my rig 2 months ago. It would have prevented me from being stranded after leaving a fuel stop. What happened is upon leaving a fuel stop the back end dragged on the hitch (not a big deal) but what I didn't know is the fuel filter on the motor hangs down close to this same level, so it got crushed and quit feeding fuel to the motor. This wrecked a weekend of plans. But God had a divine appointment instead. These rollers would have prevented the fuel filter from being hit, because it would have raised up the back end about 3 inches!. I do question the zert fitting in this model it seems like a solid bolt would be stronger. But I will replace it if the current one fails. 459482
Gary - 12/12/2018Had purchased the larger urethane skid wheels which broke the first time they hit the ground. Really wasn't expecting them to last on a 38' Class A, my driveway transition is steep and irregular surface at street. These steel rollers have held up great, even when I forget and hit the transition too fast. I added a third steel roller to the bottom of the receiver hitch also. All three have held up great. 502460
Received my steel wheels today and installed them right away on our 2019 Four Winds class C motorhome Easy to install less than 15 minutes and they look great. Can't wait to see how they work. 539780

Products came earlier than expected! Thanks for having it available and ready to ship! Great product! 853221
Well built product, these rollers are heavy duty and should last a long time. 852090
These skid wheels take a licking and keep on spinning. Because of the change of angle in my driveway, my Class A MH would drag its tail on the way out and when storing. Not anymore! A rock solid product. 849191
Product package damaged in shipping. Some parts were missing. Jim in customer service immediately sent me the missing parts, no questions asked.... I’m impressed 849095
Received the heavy duty Ultra-Fab skid wheels from etrailer yesterday then easily greased and installed either side of the hitch receiver on our RV in about 20 minutes. They are very robust and I don't expect I'll have an issue with them falling apart after the first contact with a driveway or ferry ramp - or hopefully thereafter. As always, great service from etrailer as well! 847360
Very sturdy and quick and easy to install on the RV trailer hitch cross bar. Will hold up well over time. Only negative is that one of the grease fittings broke as I was trying to add grease to it. Hopefully this will not affect it's usefulness in the future. 828570
Excellent quality and easy installation. 822392
First- Great speed shipping and better price than other online etailer! Next; Good solid steel rollers with lubricated roller bearings. Steel plates appear to be plated, nickel or chrome. Good hard surface! I expect long life. I noted that the inside tube used for the bearing is somewhat short. If the bolt is tightened to contact the inside tube, the wheel doesn't roll. It's pinched against the support. I inserted a small washer acting as a shoulder to provide enough clearance for the wheel. Now I can clamp the tube to keep it from turning. Thus, the roller bearings will take the load as intended. I painted the plates and U-bolts to match my trailer hitch. Assembly looks easy! Bolt on. 819112
These skid wheels are terrific. Easy to install and they have easily saved our RV from being damaged every time we enter and exit our driveway. I highly recommend these to anyone that could potentially end up dragging the tail of their RV. 817946
These wheels worked perfectly! No more gauges in the street when backing out of my parking spot! I have a 36', 30,000 pound RV that was ridiculously difficult to back out of my tight parking space without destroying the asphalt. With these wheels it has made it unbelievably easy! 814701
Excellent Service. Easy installation. Products worked great. Solved my tail dragging issue due to driveway geometry issue entering a well traveled State Road. Would purchase from you again. 801867
My 30' Class A RV had the 6" cast iron casters on the rear hitch. Needless to say, they didn't like the angle of my driveway. After searching high and low, I found these monsters. They are sturdy, have a grease zerk, and couldn't be easier to install on your receiver hitch.. If you want a little more height out of them, you can get u-bolts and a piece of square bar or heavy gauge tubing to push them down a bit more as they aren't very tall. I also noticed a nylon washer on either side, which should NOT be an issue, but if it is, they are easy enough to replace. If these aren't bulletproof, I don't know what is. Also, Stacey A at e-trailer was AMAZING with helping me through my order issues. Stellar service and prices. 795176
Works good. No problems. I recommend! 793360
I put these on the rear end of my 2015 Palazzo RV and they are great,. They keep the back end of the coach from dragging when entering steep driveways. 770903
