Cheeze1 ( Hello Chas) I never got a chance to do the cut-out before I got sick , hopefully I will still get to do it. I was able to purchase a set of cables that were just about the right length so I went with them.
My hub caps are attached with spring like clips that catch on the rim of the wheel and would make all sorts of squeaking noises when moving .They were prone to falling off so I lost one ( thank God ) and that gave me the opportunity to buy Stainless wheel liners. The wheel liners ( at least the good ones ) actually bolt under the wheel lugs so they will never come off by hitting a pot hole. Have you ever seen the pile of hub caps on the side of the George Washington Bridge, right before you hit that pot hole that made all of your draws open up and spill the contents all over the RV and as a final insult you discover your $40.00 hub cap was added to the collection there. I avoid that Bridge altogether now. The only regret I have about the wheel liners – versus - the hub caps are at the toll booths, they had a hard time telling if I had duals or not with the hub caps, now with the liners they can tell at a glance.
I also added the tube with the screw cap to carry an extra hose, I went with a 6’ tube but I could have went to 10’ because I had room under my RV.
Wet bath –versus – dry bath , to keep an RV to a size like I have 22.5 ‘ you have to give up something to get something else. My wife was pretty flexible on almost everything I wanted, but when it came to the Wet bath –versus – dry bath it was a no issue with her, dry bath or nothing!!! Some people enjoy public bath-houses, so an RV set up is not important to them, my wife is one that does not , before our RV, public bathrooms were a big issue for her. For a guy, if the public bathrooms were that bad you could always stand back a few more feet!
