I have a set of skid pads on the rear of my RV. They are part of the bike rack sub structure I had DRV install when I ordered the RV. Works fine if you come in low on the rear of the RV. No problems yet and I know I have dragged the rear a few times.

I suspect as the leaf springs get older and from all the flexing they start to sag and the rear end gets lower. Not sure how much at this point, my unit is only a 2008. Didn’t measure the rear ground clearance when it was new.
