Question:
Do you have a skid wheel, preferably low profile, for use on a heavy 2015, Itasca Ellipse diesel pusher?

From my research, I found that your Itasca Ellipse is just shy of 43 ft long.
The only option we currently offer for RV's that are 34 ft or longer is the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class A RVs 34' and longer - 6 inch Diameter, part number # UF48-979013. However, none of our skid wheels (including these ones) are recommended for use on diesel pusher motorhomes due to the extreme rear-end weight of the motorhome, which would shorten their lifespan. The replacement casters are available separately though as part number # UF48-001013. This allows you to replace the caster(s) without the need to weld a new bracket on your motorhome, in the event of premature failure or if damage occurs, which would not be covered under warranty.
That being said, I've attached a customer review where they reported having successfully used these on their 40 foot diesel pusher. This review was posted after 1 year of purchasing the product.
From the mounting surface of the trailer to the bottom of the caster, the # UF48-979013 will hang down 6.77 inches, as shown in the attached photo.
