Yes we do have some rollers available for your 45' RV I recommend the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller for Trailers and RVs part # UF48-979023. This is a steel roller versus the lighter duty Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Low-Profile RVs up to 30' Long part # UF48-979011.
It really depend on exactly how hard you bottom out if they will really hold up or not. Physics right!! I have seen frame mount hitches ripped off of an RV because it bottomed out so hard. With that said these are going to give... view full answer...
In order to choose the correct set of skid wheels you'll need to measure the square body on the trailer hitch and then choose the correct ones based on that. The Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels part # UF48-979017 for example are designed for a 2-1/2" square tube and the part # UF48-979018 are designed for a 3" square tube. If you have one of these two then the wheels will work well although they are technically designed for motorhomes

From my research, I found that your Itasca Ellipse is just shy of 43 ft long.
The only option we currently offer for RV's that are 34 ft or longer is the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and longer - 6 inch Diameter, part number # UF48-979013. However, none of our skid wheels (including these ones) are recommended for use on diesel pusher motorhomes due to the extreme rear-end weight of the motorhome, which would shorten their lifespan. The replacement casters are available... view full answer...
The main thing I would look at is the surface area between the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller # UF48-979023 and Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller # UF48-979021.
The Jumbo Roller is going to have a slightly larger surface area with the size of the roller being larger 2-1/2" diameter vs 2" on the Micro-Roller. This will lead to less sinking in on softer asphalt surfaces that you may encounter and the wheel will more easily roll over small rocks and debris on the road surface. view full answer...
The easiest skid wheel we carry to use is the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 which simply connects to a trailer hitch with a pin. That being said it doesn't look like your 32' Keystone Montana has a trailer hitch, based on the pictures you provided. If you wanted to add on a hitch there are adjustable trailer hitches like the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703, which can fit a frame width of 22" to 72" wide. You'll just need to measure the... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
While we carry some very solid products when it comes to skid wheels, such as the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted, # UF48-979017 that you linked to and the even stronger Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer, # UF48-979013; these are not recommended for use on diesel pusher motorhomes due to the extreme rear-end weight of the motorhome. I reached out to someone in the Ultra-Fab Engineering Dept. for suggestions, he stated that they do not produce anything that listed as surviving... view full answer...
The skid wheel part # UF48-979023 would work well for you as it's the largest size we have to fit your trailer. This shouldn't hurt your frame strength either.

Although I don't know what size skid wheels you currently have, you can use some of our skid wheels for a Class A RV like your 2018 Tiffin 36.
The part # UF48-979012 that you referenced has 5" diameter wheels and is rated for a Class C RV. For your Class A RV I recommend the part # UF48-979013 which has wheels with a 6" diameter instead.
These come with a 1 year warranty. view full answer...
Skid wheels, including the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34' Long # UF48-979012 are not designed as fully weight-bearing entities so they do not have an official weight capacity. They are only meant as a stopgap for occasional use to prevent your RV from contacting the ground.

The Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 will likely work with your trailer hitch that has the tabs on the bottom of the receiver as there does not look like there is going to be any interference.

You will want to avoid installing the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs # UF48-979015 on your bumper as your bumper will not be able to resist the weight of your RV since it is not structural.
I recommend installing the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Low-Profile RVs # UF48-979011 instead. These can be installed on either your RV's frame or a frame-mounted trailer hitch receiver. You will need to have the brackets welded on before bolting the skid wheels to them. view full answer...

Generally speaking, skid wheels are selected based on the length of the trailer. But since your trailer is fairly close to the ground the 4 inch diameter skid wheels # UF48-979011 would be what I would go with. If you went with the 6 inch diameter wheels # UF48-979013 they would decrease ground clearance and make contact before the 4 inch wheels. view full answer...
RV skid wheels like # UF48-979012 from Ultra-Fab do not have specific weight capacities because they are not intended to carry a load for any extended period of time. Skid wheels usually make only brief contact with the ground.
These particular skid wheels are suitable for use on motorhomes up to 34-feet and this is based on their size more so than their weight capacity. The only weight consideration for these is a general one which is that they are not recommended for use on diesel... view full answer...

This roller wheel fits 2-1/2- x 2-1/2-inch square hitch tubing and includes hardware. view full answer...
Generally an RV bumper is designed to take lateral force but not the vertical force it would encounter from having skid wheels installed on it. The RV frame at the rear (near the bumper) is the best place to mount skid wheels. If there is a hitch on the RV that too can be used as a mounting point.
The plate included in Ultra-Fab skid wheel kit # UF48-979011 is what the skid wheel itself attaches to after the plate is welded on, and you are correct that the bolt heads do sit on the top... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Rollers part # UF48-979021 that you referenced should work well for you. The overall height of this roller is 2-1/4 inches so while the roller would contact the ground sooner than without the roller it will help prevent damage to the undercarriage of your trailer. view full answer...
I went out into our warehouse and pulled a set of the Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels # UF48-979014 and found that the distance from the bottom of the wheel to where the bottom plate will be is 5-3/4 inches.
Since the bumper you plan to install the skid wheels on is 4 inch by 4 inch you will need to go with a weld on set of skid wheels like the # UF48-979023 or # UF48-979021 or the bolt-on type # UF48-979015 that includes 4-3/4-inch-long mounting bolts.

The skid wheels I highly recommend for your 38 foot fifth wheel toy hauler are the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and Longer - 6" Diameter # UF48-979013 because these are frame-mounted skid wheels that will be able to withstand the force that occurs when you are backing into your driveway.

You can install the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs, # UF48-979012 the way you describe but yes that would change the stress as you identified. If too much or not, depends on the abuse you apply. These are intended to accept the abuse that would otherwise be on your trailer and then replaced if need be.
I suggest you consider welding in the orientation you describe but also welding a block along side to minimize the span. view full answer...
These Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels, Item # UF48-979013, are not meant to sustain weight for extended periods of time and so they do not have a particular weight capacity.

When you get your skid wheels, make sure they are the right choice for the length of your RV.

Thank you for providing a photo diagram of your 5th wheel rear frame area where you are intending to install Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller Skid Wheels # UF48-979021.
The best location to weld on these rollers is at or just behind the point where the trailer's frame is making contact with the ground. If your indicated location is making contact with the ground (but nothing behind it is) then it would be a suitable spot. If there is scraping behind your indicated location, such as on the... view full answer...
Since the location of your hitch pin hole and the safety chain tabs don't allow you to use a skid wheel like part # UF48-979020 or # RM-050, the only other option that may work is if you welded a skid wheel like part # UF48-979021 onto the bottom of your hitch receiver. The only issue with this is that if you have a fairly hefty vehicle it may not hold up very well as there is a note not to install it on a diesel pusher motorhome. view full answer...
For your 4 inch bumper on your Class C motorhome, I recommend using the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34' Long - 5" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979012.

The Ultra Fab roller part # UF48-979023 will work well for you, but you should note that it does not have a weight capacity. My contact at Ultra-Fab said that because these rollers are not meant to sustain weight for extended periods of time, they do not have a weight capacity.

For your 32' long 5th wheel trailer I recommend using the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs part # UF48-979013.

I'd recommend the # UF48-979011 skid wheels from Ultra-Fab that you've already looked at, which is what we'd recommend for a trailer or RV 30 feet long or less.

You definitely can install the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979013 on your 42' 5th wheel but it is worth noting that the wheel and caster plate measures 7-1/2" tall so if the 16-1/4" that you measured is from the frame rail then that means your ground clearance will be reduced to 8-3/4" which really isn't much at all.

The biggest factor to consider when choosing between the micro roller part # UF48-979021 and the jumbo # UF48-979023 that you referenced is the overall height of the two.

I do have an option for you but due to the way the vehicle is setup, all of the trailer hitches they make for it will hang down rather low. The other option I have for you to prevent it from scraping the pavement would be to use a skid wheel like the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector part # RM-050. The skid wheel attaches to the hitch via the hitch pin hole and will prevent the receiver tube opening from scraping the pavement on inclines.

I called my contact at Ultra-Fab and asked about the weight capacity of the Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs, part # UF48-979022.
They said there is no weight capacity listed because it is not designed to bear a constant weight.

Each size wheel is meant for a certain type of motorhome. Class C motorhomes tend to be smaller than the class A motorhomes and that's why the 5 inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheel # UF48-979012 is for Class C motorhomes and the 4 inch Ultra-Fab Skid Wheel # UF48-979011.
So since certain wheels are meant for certain types of motorhomes, it's safe to say that they do not have the same strength capabilities. If you just broke the wheel here is a 6 inch replacement # UF48-001013. view full answer...

If you are going slow in your drive (or anywhere you might suspect is too steep) then using the skid wheels, # UF48-979017, will not damage anything.

For your application there really is only going to be a weld on solution that's reasonable like the part # UF48-979022 that you referenced. The frame dimensions are unknown so a weld solution would be better since that really doesn't matter.

Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979012 are designed for Class C RVs up to 34 feet long but do not have a weight capacity. A 10,000 pound 5th wheel trailer is going to weigh less than most 34 foot Class C RVs though, and the full weight of the trailer won't be on the wheels, so you can use them with your trailer.

Roller # RM-050 is a good option for a Class III trailer hitch on your 2006 Honda Odyssey. It does hang down lower than the hitch receiver so it will actually make contact with the ground sooner than if the roller were not on it.

I certainly do. For this you are going to want to install skid wheels which will take some of the brunt off your trailer. For this I recommend using the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller part # UF48-979023. These skid wheels will need to be welded on the trailers frame or the components that are scraping the ground. The wheels will not raise the trailer but will eliminate it from scraping the ground if placed in the proper location.

Do you have the bike rack setup that basically attaches to the frame rails of your 2014 Keystone Cougar and extends the bumper out and a bike rack then sits between it and the rear of the trailer? That's what I was able to find pictures of online when I searched your trailer.
I don't see any reason the Ultra Fab Wheels # UF48-979013 couldn't also fit the frame before the bike rack though. You would just need to install them on the frame side of the RV before the bike rack. view full answer...
To avoid scraping up your driveway I recommend going with the urethane wheels such as # UF48-979014 or # UF48-979015 because they are much less likely to damage the driveway compared to steel rollers.
The steel rollers you mentioned are all basically the same with the exception of the sizes of each. But they are a little more low profile so they would not make contact with the ground as soon as the urethane coated wheels. view full answer...
Yes, the Rollaway Hitch Protector, # RM-050, should be plenty heavy enough to work on your 37 foot motorhome and keep the hitch from dragging when you back into your driveway, as long as the dip you have is not so deep that it is bending the hitch receiver or side plates. If your dip is so extreme that the hitch is bending, this type of item would only make the situation worse.
To use the Rollaway Hitch Protector you will need to make sure that the support bar, see short video, is not... view full answer...
Actually the preferred mounting method for installing the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels part # UF48-979013 is to have them welded on. See the attached install link.
You can use U-bolts to install these skid wheels as well though. I spoke with my contact at Ultra-Fab and you will want to use at least a grade 5 U-bolt, which can be found at most local hardware stores, when mounting the skid wheels. Since the mounting holes that you will want to use measure 5-1/4" apart, he also recommends using... view full answer...
The mounting bolts included with the Ultra-Fab Rotating Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels, part # UF48-979014, are 4-1/4 inhces long.

The Ultra-Fab Steel Mini-Roller for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979022 is not rated for a weight capacity because these types of skid wheels are not intended to be consistently bearing a load. Because of the function of a skid wheel, the manufacturer does not test them to do anything but redirect the load to keep the frame from making contact.
With that being said, this skid wheel is extremely durable and made for heavy duty applications. It will work just fine on a 13000-lbs trailer and... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels # UF48-979014 measure 5-3/4 inches from the bottom of the hitch to the bottom of the wheel. I have attached a photo showing this measurement for you.

I checked with manufacturer on this, they do not provide a weight capacity or shear point rating for the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller, # UF48-979020. Destructive testing to determine these values is not completed. Its' purpose is to be mounted on the hitch providing a contact point prior to that of what it is protecting receiving the damage that would otherwise occur to the hitch. They did state that their products are supplied to the OEM's in bulk and they have yet to have a single warranty claim. view full answer...
The manufacturer does not test or provide a weight capacity rating for these caster wheels because they are not designed to bear or support your RV's weight for a significant period of time. Instead, they are designed to merely redirect the weight. The # UF48-979013 you referenced, is designed for use with Class A RV's that are 34 foot and longer, so these will work perfectly on your 42 foot 5th wheel trailer.

If you are wanting to add the Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels Item # UF48-979014 to your 2015 Winnebago Trend Motorhome and don't currently have a hitch you can either add a hitch or have a steel tube welded between the frame rails so the wheels can be installed. If the v-shaped brackets are bolted on then you can just remove them. Without seeing how they are mounted I cannot be certain on how to the wheels would need to be mounted for your application.

I would instead recommend the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979011 skid wheel for your 4 inch by 4 inch bumper. The plate would need to be welded to the frame and then the included mounting hardware be used to secure the skid wheel. The Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979015 mounting hardware would be at the 4 inch distance and unsuitable for your bumper. We do not have a skid wheel that will accommodate the size of your bumper without having to drill through your frame.

Unfortunately, we don't have a skid wheel that installs on the extended ball mount. I think your best option will be a skid wheel that connects to the end of the hitch receiver like # UF48-979020 or # RM-050. view full answer...
For your trailer that drags when pulling into a driveway, I first recommend looking into skid wheels like the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels # UF48-979011. These sturdy steel wheels will attach to the rear of your trailer to help prevent the tail from dragging when backing up or going up your driveway. You will simply weld the included brackets to your trailer and then bolt the skid wheels to the brackets. These are designed for low-profile trailers or motor homes that are up to 30 feet long.

I might have a solution for you. However, the Ultra Fab 4 Inch Caster Wheels, # UF48-979011, will not be a viable option for your trailer.
The best option will be to use the Ultra Fab Steel Jumbo Rollers, # UF48-979023. These roller have a 3 inch long x 2-1/2 inch wide mounting bracket could easily be welded on to the 3 inch surface on your trailer. This roller also has a height of 3-1/2 inches tall.

I'd recommend the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979015. These wheels can be through bolted into the underside of the trailer, and the included backing plates can be used to prevent the bolts from tearing through the trailer deck. view full answer...
Skid wheels like the part # UF48-979021 that you referenced installed on the hitch and frame would be one solution to help prevent the dragging. While we don't have an air bag system we do have a lift kit part # LC407131 that will give you an additional 2 inches of height on the trailer which could help give additional clearance. view full answer...

Adding skid wheels to your open car trailer is indeed what I recommend to help prevent the trailer from dragging when going up a steep driveway. These are designed specifically for this very purpose and will work well.
I recommend taking a look at the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Low-Profile RVs # UF48-979011. You will simply weld the included brackets to your trailer frame and then bolt the skid wheels to the brackets using the hardware that is also included. These skid wheels feature... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab steel roller # UF48-979021 doesn't have a weight capacity. It is almost solid steel, the bolt runs through the middle, so it can handle a significant amount of stress. But considering that your Winnebago is 43 feet long you might consider going with the larger model, # UF48-979023. It is 2-1/2 inches wide by 3 inches tall.
Either way the more of them you use the less stress and weight each individual one has to handle. view full answer...
