I will be traveling 70 Miles north to cover a vintage travel trailer I recently purchased. It is a 60s (Esta Villa by Estevan Industries of Calgary Canada) and it has been sitting for about 8 years. It appears to be in reasonable condition but I know the tires will be bad and need to be replaced. Can someone tell me the size of the lug nuts so I will be prepared. Thanks

My '71 Starcraft has Dexter wheels. It has the lug bolts pictured by JJBIRISH, all of them are right hand. These rims are still sold at Etrailer.

I'd take 1/2" drive metric and SAE sockets, a breaker bar and a 24" cheater bar. Good luck.

Bring every socket you own. That way, you can be sure it does NOT have any of those sizes! ๐Ÿ˜„

(That IS how it usually works...)

From the 60โ€™s, it may have lug bolts and either Dexter or Fayette wheelsโ€ฆ but maybe you will get luckyโ€ฆ

Very hard to find...



If so, it gets worseโ€ฆ one side will have left handed threads, and the other side right handed threadsโ€ฆ

Fayette wheels


Dexter wheelsโ€ฆ they are interchangeableโ€ฆ

Careful because a trailer that old may have both RH and LH thread studs. Take a couple of cans of Liquid Wrench and a breaker bar. Only way to tell without taking them off is that the studs will have an R or L in the outside end.

3/4" & 13/16" are most common size of SAE lug nuts (19mm & 21mm for metric)
