I've been repairing and babying along the wheel simulators on our 04 Itasca Suncruiser for some time. With stop drilling at cracks and drilling out then replacing rivets that broke they have continued to serve but are getting fragile. One of the rears has enough cracks that got ahead of me now at the lug bolts and will eventually need to be replaced.

In checking with Lichtsinn, Winnebago no longer sells the wheel simulators individually. The set of 4 (145580-03-000) will now run around $600.

Has anyone else with an 04 era Adventurer, Suncruiser, or similar model with 19.5 inch wheels found a more cost effective alternative? I'd rather not have to be a guinea pig on these in searching out an alternative, but that is a lot of dough for the real things. Should there be nothing else available, I just may try one of the several that are available on Amazon that are generic 8 stud 19.5 inch simulators (free returns of course).

Thanks as always for the combined wisdom of the group!

Got a single simulator for a Sprinter from rvwheel.com They sell on ebay and other places. Looks like a set for your Workhorse is $269:

I bought a wheel simulator (cover) from the company below back in 2015 I believe the price for a front cover was $79.00 including shipping.
Good luck and let us know if/when/where you get one.
Thanks
