That's right, for most class A's. No lug wrench. I use a 3/4" drive set. Harbor Freight has a set for not too much money. You'll also need a 4-5 foot piece of pipe to fit over the handle. I'm not sure of the torque on your wheel lug nuts, but my Pace lugs torque to about 600ft lb., or 200lb on a 3 foot pipe works too. That's called German torque. Goot-n-tight

FWIW, our 98 PA has one (might not be original) BUT it's useless as you actually need 2 sizes. The lugs are probably 3/4" (as RinkersRanch) mentioned (I never actually checked) but if you have simulators on the wheels ('hubcap' looking things), those are held by 2 of the bolts and you need a larger socket to get them off (probably 1").

Also as mentioned, IMO, a lug wrench is useless for 99.9% of people. You shouldn't use your jacks to lift your mh to change a tire so it's very unlikely that you'd have anything that's able to lift the mh. Even if you were able to lift it, as mentioned above, there's huge amounts of torque on the lug nuts so you probably wouldn't be able to get them off. And even if you did get them off, the wheels and tires are really heavy (especially if you have 22.5" tires but even 19.5" are bad) so unless you are used to it and have long bar you can use as a lever, you probably wouldn't be able to change the tire anyway.

X2 on the ERS storing my Lug Wrench!

I chose Coach-Net. They have changed two trailer tire failures over the 2.5 years of having that service. Once in the Yukon and once in Alberta, Canada.

I wouldn't leave home without it!
