Supernova 6400N. Lost 2 bolts and hubcap bolt covers on my front wheels. I found the bolt covers but need the nuts that actually hold the beauty rings to the wheels.
Anyone know where I can pick those up?
I'm rolling in a beautiful rig and the 2 front wheels look like I just stole it from someone's driveway and slapped on some ugly looking junkyard wheels. Not actually that bad, but those beauty rings make them look like a million bucks compared to the wheels without them.


Thanks in advance,
Ron in SoCal

Check Camping World. I am almost sure I have seen them there.

And while you're at it, make sure you have the proper lug nut removal tool. Texas TC and I ran into that problem this summer up at Lake Lewisville... I had misplaced or lost mine, and his was just a tad too small- not sure if the vanity nuts are not a universal size or what, but I remember it being an "opportunity."

I lost one a couple of years ago and had a devil of a time finding a new one. Local dealers, no. Camping world, no. I found one in rv shop in Lexington KY. Then when I was at BHII rally last year found them in an RV surplus store. I bought 4 there and have never needed one since.

So far no luck. Tried 2 Camping Worlds. I need to try the RV parts stores and see if it is a special order. I will also try a specialty nuts and bolts house to see if they have something matching. I'll keep y'all posted.

Lost one off my back wheel this past summer on my 6400. I replaced them with a different style that actually lets you use the wrench for the trim cap to tighten a nut attached to a spindle that connects to the wheel stud (if that makes sense). The original spindles did not have this nut, couldn't be tightened easily, and hence ended up with one coming off. When this happened, the beauty trim ring was able to flex, dragging the steel braided inflation extendors across the beauty ring, ripping through the steel braided line and working it's way into the rubber hose before I caught it when we pulled into the campground that night....could have been a flat tire very easily.

I got mine at a dealership in Nashville TN that is two doors up from the KOA at Opryland Hotel...can't recall the name of the dealership. The original studs that came on the unit aren't the best design, that's for sure.
