Wheel "Simulators" (covers) on Duallies
Has anyone else had problems with "simulators" (e.g. covers) detaching from rear dual wheels on Class C's? We have lost two from two different rigs.-both on the right side. The first on a BT Cruiser ...

I have a 07 Lazy Daze built on a E-450. I have had no trouble with the K-II wheel simulators coming off but just last week someone tried to steal one. It is all bent now and will not sit on the wheel properly. Good thing I visually check of the RV's tires and compartments before each drive.
I have the wheels with several round holes like the earlier E-450s and in late 07 or 08 Ford switched to the oval hole wheels. The simulators on our RV are held on by two stud extenders bolted to the wheel lugs 180 deg opposite each other. Each extender has a cap nut that holds the wheel simulator in place.
I have heard of people loosing simulators on the LD forum. Usually after tire work when someone not familiar with mounting puts them back on.
An yes, I am sure someone tried to swipe mine. You can see the marks on the tire and wheel cover where they tried to pry them off like a hubcap. Guess I will be painting wheels now.
