Skid wheels
We just picked up our first travel trailer and were a bit concerned about getting it in our driveway. Our driveway it pretty steep, narrow (<9' wide and cut into a hill), and we need to turn off of a somewhat narrow street. I was able to make it up as-is, but this 25' traile is about as big as I can fit.
I've been looking at skid wheels to prevent damage to the trailer and make navigating the driveway a little easier. Our trailer has nohitch and just a stamped bumper. I was thinking of replacing the bumper with either 2"x4" or 4"x4" steel tube to give me something solid to mount to.
Doew anyone have any other suggestions on mounting? Are there any benefits of going withthe weld-on steel wheels as opposed to the rubber swivel wheels?
