Skid Wheel Recommendation that Won't Damage Black Top Driveway for a 23 Foot RV

Updated 09/07/2016 | Published 09/06/2016

Question:

Need help deciding between UF48-979014 , UF48-979017, or UF48-979021. Trailer hitch has sometimes scraped my blacktop driveway either backing up or driving down forward. Concerned about damage to new blacktop and preventing damage to vehicle. I have a standard 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch steel tube trailer hitch mounted to the Frame of the Motorhome. Are the steel rollers the same on the UF48-979017 and the ....021 ? Both same heavy duty rollers? Would the urethane coated rollers provide a Wider footPrint on the driveway and dig in less , less grooving and damage to the driveway.?

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.
