How much torque on lug nuts

I looked in the bag of manuals and there was nothing for the frame. This is a used TT. In fact it's 21 years old! It's possible that part of the manual was lost. I doubt it was ever in there though. I've had this TT for about 3 years and I tow it about 1200 miles a year. 95-100 sounds good to me and as I said that's about what they were all at. I check them a couple of times if a wheel has been removed after that I check them once a year. I also jack up and wiggle each wheel once a year and during the first few trips of the year I stop after about 30-40 miles and feel the hubs to see if there getting hot. I check the air in the tires about twice a year and oil the pivot points in the suspension fairly often. If I don't they start to squeak. I'm just a weekend camper that stays within 75 miles of home.

Somewhere in your bag of manuals you should find a manual for the frame. The torque value will be in that manual. It is very important that you torque your wheels correctly and check them periodically, especially if a wheel has been removed for any reason. It's good practice to check them before every trip.

Do you have the trailer owner's manual? It would be in there. You can also call any dealer that sells that maker's trailers, and their techs can tell you.

If the stud is 5/8, I would use 5/8 lug nuts.

I looked in the so called owners manual. Which is a bag with a sales broacher in it and the manuals for all the appliances . It said nothing about wheel torque. They are 5 bolt wheels by the way. I tightened them to 95 and that is where they all seemed to be. There was one lug nut maybe just a little loose but, the rest were all 95. Must be the right the right number and it must be what I tightened them too last year when I did the bearings. I should write that number down somewhere so I could quit asking. lol

This might help...

Thanks. I'll look I the owners manual but, I don't remember seeing anything about it in there. Have a nice Day
