I was talking to a man who was ahead of the repairs and warranty of a RV manufacture. He said there has been a problem in the past with the aluminum wheels of RV manufactures where the mounting holes would become oblong. Recently when we lost our wheel off our camper I noticed the wheel holes for the studs were oblong. I thought that happened in a short time when we lost our wheel but maybe that was something that happened over the years of use. So thought perhaps at times it would be wise to check the wheels on the Rpods. I was told the quality control is better now so most likely it could be a problem with older RV's only. We only lost one wheel the other one I checked and there was no problem with it and we have it for only a spare now. David
