basic driving skills
Not strictly RV related, but wonder how many of us can relate. Yesterday I took wife to Dr's office in a big medical complex yesterday. Dropped her at door, and parked in sun to wait. Noticed a coup...

Those wheel lugs have got to be the dumbest thing Mercedes ever did. You get one of those suckers broke off either get out a wad of money or get ready for a time consuming job. + you need a replacement wheel. I may change cars before tires wear out but if not as much as I hate the thought I'll cut it off.
I have a couple of set of these to look after oddball bolts/nuts. No need to cut anything off.
I have the 1 I need to get my lugnut off, if none of the sockets fit. I also carry replacement nuts to be sure I can mount the spare.

My F150 had those stupid lug nuts with a cheap cap over them. I got one piece lug nuts made by Dorman and replaced all 24 lug nuts. The Ford stealership wanted $7 a nut and they were the same junk that originally came on the truck.
To get some of the old lugs off, I had to hammer a socket onto the lug nut cap and remove the nut, I then had to put the socket into a vice and drive out the old nut with a punch. I am glad this took place in my driveway so that I could use my shop tools.
I did the same on my F150 years ago, but could not locate the 1 piece to match the wheels on my Dodge, so I replaced the ones I needed plus enough for 1 more wheel
