Default rollers for BT Cruiser 5291

Does anyone have a recommendation for rollers or skid wheels for a model 5291?

We recommend attaching roller wheels to the trailer hitch. These can be purchased through any rv store. Without these our BT Cruiser 5290 would often lose the tail pipe from the generator anytime we went over any curbing or slight incline. We bought the larger size rollers with the green polyurethane covering after trying the all metal rollers. The exposed metal would leave scrape marks on our driveway. Sure wish that Gulf Stream would move this generator towards the front like their competitors.

I believe that rear rollers are a problem waiting to happen. The box sits on the frame, but when you have to use rollers for a ramp type drive , the frame will try to flex up. When that happens, the side walls will try to bow either in or out. That could cause a crack in the sidewall. On the generator, can't you maybe reroute the pipe to the side? Marv
