Wheel Torque

[ret-miner]

What pd torque would it be for 15 inch wheel on my fifth wheel

[lawnspecialties]

These guesses around 100 lbs. or so are probably correct. My 16" wheels have a sticker right on the fender for 100 lbs..

If you don't get an accurate response, just do similar to what I did. I bought a set of torque sticks and I keep a cordless impact wrench with us on trips. I check the lugs before every trip we take. Takes about three minutes to do all six wheels.

Not necessarily. Not all RV manufacturers publish the wheel nut torque specifications.

Could be why the O.P. is asking.

The owners manual packet I got with both of my last 2 trailers included the manual for the axles.

The spec is in that one.

From an etrailer.com chart, it is 90-120 for 15" steel wheels or 90-100 for 15" aluminum wheels. Unless you have a manual that says otherwise.

Not sure what FW you have, or what axle, but I would say 95-100 lb ft. I set my 5200# six lug axle at 95 lb ft.

I have towed all kind of trailers for over 55 years and have never torqued the nuts on the wheels. Never had one come off or stripped. Yeah I know . I should torque them
