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…

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…

Hey Eric. Axle spacing isn't the best way to determine what replacement equalizers you need. The most accurate way to find a replacement is to match up a replacing equalizer as close as possible to the dimensions of the one currently on your…
Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

RV Skid Wheels with 5 Inch Diameter Wheel
Tackle dips and steep driveways with skid wheels that help stop rear-end dragging. The 5 inch diameter wheel rolls smoothly to protect your RV, trailer, or motorhome when approach angles get tight. These are not fully weight-bearing and have no official weight capacity. Welding mounting plates to the frame is common, and they can bolt to a welded 4 inch bumper when clearance allows.
No. These are not designed as fully weight-bearing and don't have an official weight capacity. They act as a stopgap to help prevent your RV from contacting the ground. Some options are rated by RV length, so match the product's length rating to your rig. On steep inclines, don't expect them to push or lift the RV—use them to reduce scraping only.
Yes, if the 4 inch bumper is welded to the frame and nothing hangs below it. If not, weld the mounting pads to the frame instead. Use a board reference to set placement so the wheel bottom sits approximately 3 inches below the board line. Grease the wheels before use.
Use a board from just behind the rear tires to the lowest rear point as a reference. Position the wheel so its bottom is approximately 3 inches below that line. Weld mounting plates to the frame—sometimes additional reinforcement is required—then bolt on the casters with the included hardware. Grease the casters and wheels. Check weld quality to handle backing on inclines.
They can reduce bumper and undercarriage scraping in dips and on inclined driveways. Confirm fit by doing the board test and setting the wheel height about 3 inches below the reference line. Choose a design matched to your RV length and mounting location. For very steep approaches, expect limited assistance and verify clearance before relying on them.
