Replacement wheel caps?
My toy hauler has "decorative" wheel caps. They don't do anything except look nice and maybe keep the axle hub from getting scratched. I have the EZ Lube axles.
One of the three prongs on the wheel cap broke off and the cap will no longer stay on the wheel. Any suggestions? Buy a new one? Fix the old one? Any idea where to find new wheel cap?

Etrailer have literally dozens of variations. Our last had plastic ones that covered the lug nuts and popped over them. This one has the steel push though type which I prefer. I also have E-Z Lube hubs but choose to hand pack bearings so also have chrome hole plugs. Measure the wheel hole first, especially if you opt for the push through as a replacement. You can also get stainless steel push throughs which wont rust like the chromed steel.

There are a couple of sizes of these things that are really close, so measure carefully. I actually miked the opening the last time I needed one. The owner had purchased the wrong size and tried to beat it into the opening. It is really amazing how strong that plastic is and how hard it was to get it back out. I actually had to break it to pieces before it would come out.
