Hey Michael, you will want to go with a set of skid wheels for your motorhome like the Ultra Fab #UF48-979012 which will prevent the dragging. These attach to the frame and roll instead of dragging. Where are you dragging the most?

Bolt-On RV Skid Wheels for smooth driveway exits
Conquer steep driveways and ramps without scraping. These bolt-on skid wheels roll instead of drag to protect your hitch, trailer, and even your driveway. Match them to a 2" receiver, with options for 2-1/2", and verify clearance around safety-chain tabs and adequate hitch pin length for a clean install.
Yes, they help reduce dragging on long rigs, extended hitches, and steep transitions. Place them where your RV contacts first, like near the receiver or outer edges. They can protect things like a waste pipe and help prevent cutting into asphalt. If a dip is so extreme it bends the hitch, adding wheels can make it worse—address that first.
Installation is typically straightforward. Plan on removing the old collar if needed, then bolting the wheel bracket in its place. Grease the roller if your wheel has a grease fitting. Test-fit before final torque; you may need different washers for clearance, a longer hitch pin, or to mark and drill a new hole for better placement and a tighter fit.
Maintenance is minimal. Grease them regularly if they include a grease zerk to keep the roller spinning smoothly. Recheck hardware after first use and tighten if needed. Hard rollers can be tough on concrete or asphalt, so expect some marking on sharp transitions. Inspect after driveway or ramp contact to confirm nothing shifted.
They can, as long as the wheels match your receiver and clear nearby parts. Check if you have a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver and choose wheels sized for that tube. If your hitch has chain tabs or flanges on the bottom, verify the wheel bracket won't interfere. Confirm hitch pin length and hole alignment; some installers marked and drilled a new hole or swapped washers for a better fit.
