Published 09/06/2018

Question:

Im Looking at these Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34foot Long - 5inch Diameter - Qty 2 Item # UF48-979012 Was wondering how they will hold up in gravel? Does this kit come with 5inch Part of my driveway is gravel with a good slope. Im looking at the 6inch wheels instead of the smaller wheels. I thought they may hold up more plus raise the back up more.

The Ultra-Fab 5" Skid Wheels part # UF48-979012 and the Ultra-Fab 6" Skid Wheels part # UF48-979013 will both work on a gravel surface but the gravel will be harder on the caster wheels than a normal flat paved surface will. However, if the gravel is packed hard enough then you should be alright. There is always going to be limitations with the skids wheels such as how heavy the RV is, how hard it hits, and how much weight is on the rear of the RV.
