Skid wheels (also called landing gear wheels or trailer jack casters) mount to the bottom of your fifth wheel or travel trailer landing gear legs. They let you roll the trailer forward or backward during hitching without dragging the feet across concrete or asphalt—protecting both your legs and your driveway.

Why add skid wheels

• Prevent gouging driveways and campsites when repositioning.
• Make solo hitching easier by allowing small adjustments.
• Reduce wear on landing gear feet and pads.
• Essential for sloped driveways where you need to roll the trailer to the truck.

How to choose

• Foot style: Some clamp to round feet, others replace square pads. Measure your existing feet.
• Weight capacity: Match to your trailer's tongue or pin weight (usually stamped on the landing gear).
• Wheel size: Larger wheels roll easier on rough surfaces but need more ground clearance.

Installation is typically straightforward with basic hand tools. Most skid wheels use set screws or through-bolts to attach to existing landing gear legs.
