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?

TorkLift RV Skid Wheels for Hitch Extensions
Tackle steep driveways and gas station entrances without scraping your long extension. TorkLift RV skid wheels replace the collar on a hitch extension to add a rolling contact point that helps prevent bottoming out. Installation is straightforward, so you can get back on the road with fewer worries about dragging.
Yes, they help reduce dragging and bottoming out on an extended hitch. They act like insurance when a SuperTruss hangs low. Add the wheel to the collar location so it rolls over dips instead of scraping.
Installation is quick and straightforward. Plan about 10 minutes to remove the old collar and install the wheel. If fit is tight, swap out larger diameter 1/2 washers for a better fit. Torque the new hardware to 50 ft/lbs, not the 60 ft/lbs used on the original collar.
Yes, consider a bolt-on skid wheel for the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension. It uses the same u-brackets, spacer, nuts, and bolts, and adds a wheel to help prevent bottoming out. Confirm you have the SuperTruss extension and follow the included install details.
Tighten the hardware to 50 ft/lbs. The collar you remove is typically 60 ft/lbs, so verify the lower spec on reassembly. There's a grease zerk on the head of the axle bolt—add grease periodically to keep the wheel rolling smoothly.
