Question:

Could you email me some instructions or pictures of the mounting of these skid wheels on a class c motorhome. I have a 2014 Jayco class c on the Ford E-450 chassis and I want to see what is involved with the installation.

Here are the instructions for Swivel Skid Wheels # UF48-979012

1. Position a board as shown in Illustration 1. Place one end of board just behind rear wheels. Prop up the other end of board so board comes in contact with the lowest point of RV’s rear under carriage.
2. Using board as reference, move skid wheel along the RV’s frame to find a point where the bottom of skid wheel is approximately 3 inches below board line. Mount wheel here.
3. Weld mounting plates to frame is usually best. Sometimes additional reinforcement is required.
4. Bolt casters to mounting plates using bolts and lock nuts provided.
5. Grease casters and wheels before use.
