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?
You could mount some skid wheels to the frame by your stabilizers to have them hit first and protect the stabilizers and the rest of the undercarriage from scraping when coming out of a steep incline/decline. I recommend ones like the Ultra-Fab Skid…

Heading up steep driveways or over sharp grade changes, 3 inch diameter roller skid wheels help protect your hitch and rear frame from scraping. Pick a hitch- or frame-mounted style that matches where your rig tends to drag, whether it's a driveway dip or a ferry ramp. If you need extra lift, a larger diameter can add clearance, while these keep protection compact and effective.
No, skid wheels are not recommended for diesel pusher motorhomes due to extreme rear-end weight. The loads and movement can be too high for wheels to survive long-term. If you're set on using them, verify placement carefully and monitor wear. Consider other clearance solutions if the rear overhang and weight are significant.
Start with 3 Inch Diameter Roller if driveway dips are moderate. If you need extra height to clear skid features on a hitch crossmember, consider moving up to a 4" diameter design. Measure current clearance and note where scrapes occur to decide. Check that the wheel style you choose fits your mounting area and doesn't interfere with brackets.
Use hitch-mounted 3 Inch Diameter Roller wheels if you have rear hitch tubing that matches the listed size, like 2-1/2" square. If there's no rear hitch or you have 4" x 4" tubing, choose weld-on frame-mounted skid wheels instead. Position them on the back bottom corners or near low points like safety chain brackets to reduce dragging.
Yes, 3 Inch Diameter Roller skid wheels can contact first and protect the trailer from dragging. Place them at the outer edges near the hitch or frame where you see scrape points. If your hitch is welded to the frame, mount rollers close to the welded brackets. A separate hitch protector typically isn't needed when the rollers are positioned to take the hit.
