Does anybody know where the tool for the lug nuts would be on my 2006 Gulfstream Sun Voyager?

Lol! The only tool that come with my coach was to take the lug nut covers off so that they do not get scratched and that is hung on the bulkhead wall of the second compartment. It is just a socket with a Tee handle. Never have used it.

But for the lug nuts, you would need an impact wrench to take those off. On mine anyways 22.5 rims.

I agree...the torque spec on my 22.5" wheels is 450ft/lb.

I suggest a torque multiplying wrench - see http://lugwrench.biz/

I had a brake job to do on a 34' Gulf Stream Scenic Cruiser. This tool worked as well as advertised. The brake job also required replacing a rotor which meant removing a hub and pulling the axle. This tool has a 1" drive - so I purchased a 1" to 3/4" converter and a 3 1/2" (or there about) 6 point socket to remove the axle nut. The tool is small enough to carry with you.

Watch out for left threaded lug nuts. In my case the driver side was left threaded (meaning you turn clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten). I learned the hard way, but luckily I only mangled the nuts that mount the decorative chrome wheel cover.
