I was concerned for the low power lines and bringing them down when I pulled out. I had plenty of room to turn around, so I thought this would be better than backing out. So I got turned around and around our fire ring, But lost site of the other site's fire ring. I was intently watching the overhead wires when I heard a sickening crunch. I managed to turn the ring, an old semi split ring rim, on its side and into the Motorhome's left front wheel I managed to get it wedged between the front tire and the plastic wheel well. Bent the wheel well at the bottom, except you really can't easily tell. and popped off a lugnut cover off the stainless wheel cover. I still have knots in my stomach over this. Wife was up to the dump station with her father and his motorhome waiting for me to arrive.

What a rotten end to a good weekend.

How hard is it to get replacement lug nut covers?

If it's just a lug nut cover,, Many truck stops have 'em

If it's a full "Simulator" (Wheel cover) and if it's a workhorse 22.5" tire, I may well have one I can sell... If, that is, I can find it.

And lastly.. If it is the crome cover on the lug nut that holds the simulator on a Workhorse chassis.... Your RV dealer may have 'me. about 10 bucks (This cover is not supposed to come off the nut)

We have the 4055 2008 and yes we like paint scheme.I saw the 4055 plan on the internet and when I SHOWED MY WIFE ROSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT SAYING IT WAS TO SMALL UP FRONT.We went to katy to look at what they had and when we went through the 4055 she came out and said this was the floor plan for her.
We also looked at the Fleetwood Discovery 4o ft.with a 42 Samsung in the middle and I like that also,but the Tuscany really caught our eye.Had to move her Sunday to work around her pad and after reading about other slide problems was worried,but all came in and out fine.Powerboatr I need more info on your sun screen?

Later DBOL

19.5 " full stainless covers. Maybe I can get the old one on? What do you think?
