Trailer tail skids or rollers

[Dave Harmison]

Got caught in a bad situation yesterday and wound up dragging the trailer tail kind of hard. Anyone have recommendations for tail rollers or skids? I saw some on etrailer.com but like to buy something people can recommend.

My new trailer came with welded on skid plates. I’m hoping to never have to replace but seems like a workable solution.

some heavy duty skids Chris. Much more than mine that came with the trailer.

RV stores carry the skid wheels. $$$$ consider that at some point in time nearly ALL the trailer weight other than the tongue weight will ride on that wheel, thus the $$$$

Big ol' heavy duty steel wheels.

Especially useful getting out of the "pro" pits at Road Atlanta...

I have these https://www.etrailer.com/Skid-Wheels...48-979018.html on the rear of a 20,500 GVWR RV.

They have ground abrasions in wheel surfaces, and there are corresponding gouges in the asphalt in my street, so they do get used occasionally. Mine are 16 years old and holding up very well.
