Can Skid Wheels be Used on a 2018 Tiffin Open Road 36 Coach for Ladder Clearance

Updated 02/12/2018 | Published 02/11/2018

Question:

Hello, we ordered a new 2018 Tiffin 36 coach and just received it couple weeks ago. The concern is the rear ladder is so low that it hits our concrete driveway backing in and pulling forward thus bending the fiberglass rear cap assembly thus probably cracking the fiberglass. The RV company made the ladder very low and it lacks about 1 inch clearance. This is a change from our Tiffin 2015 coach. I have a set of 3 solid steel skid wheels on it now which I removed from the 2015 Tiffin 36 however they are not large enough to make clearance from the ladder making contact with our sloped driveway. Just wondering since I saw the photos on couple large coaches where they crack and fell apart would your wheels work on this size coach with the clearance I need? Thank you!

Although I don't know what size skid wheels you currently have, you can use some of our skid wheels for a Class A RV like your 2018 Tiffin 36.

The part # UF48-979012 that you referenced has 5" diameter wheels and is rated for a Class C RV. For your Class A RV I recommend the part # UF48-979013 which has wheels with a 6" diameter instead.

These come with a 1 year warranty.
