Wheel Lugs
When the wheels are installed on your recreational vehicle, the lug
nuts must be tightened at 90-120 foot pounds of torque. Powder
coat painted wheels may require more torquing attempts due to
thickness of paint. You must re-torque the wheel lugs at 50 and 200
miles. A decal on the wheel may require torquing earlier.
After your first trip, check the wheel lugs periodically for safety. The
wheel lugs should then be checked after winter storage, before
starting a trip or following extensive braking. The size of bolts or nuts
is 13/16 inch standard and 3/4 inch for chrome nut. Over torquing
will damage components especially if torque wheel lugs goes
over 150 pounds. Normally the “nut” fails first however the
embossing on the wheel can also be flattened, and then fail to
keep the wheel tight.
Brakes—Electrical
Electric brakes on your recreational vehicle are designed to work in
conjunction with the hydraulic brakes on your tow vehicle. This
means to have the best brake performance on both systems, the
trailer and the tow vehicle must perform and operate together. Any
