I'm looking for a source for the nut(2)(screw on type) that holds the stainless steel liner on my 16" wheels. Not sure of the liner brand but anything close look-wise that fits the lug will work for me. Any ideas where I could find these?

Dicor/Versaliner may be the type of stainless steel liner you have since they are in wide use. They are distinguished by the sort of starburst decal on the 'hub':
Here's a link to the site. Select the applications tab and find your application, which is determined by the MH year and number of holes and hole size in the wheel. Then you can order a replacement nut.

I had to buy a couple replacement nuts and they set me back due to the shipping and handling! The caps themselves are not that expensive, but the extra charges were high.
The only place I could find them was the Versaliner site listed above. I found a couple of online vendors that sold the caps but they carried a different size from what I needed. I stopped at a few places including Camping World, the Ford truck place and an RV repair shop and nobody local seemed to have them in stock.
I think it cost me $45 for the replacements which seemed outrageous! I bought the tightening tool so that I could periodically check them. I think they were not screwed on tightly when I had the tires rotated and replaced so the very next rough road, we heard a clunking sound and it was both liners had lost the caps. I think we had one left! Since then I have not seen one loosen up. Good luck finding the ones you need!
We're hooked!

Our used coach didn't come with the special nut wrench. When I tried to get the liners off, I found the nuts were rusted in place. No way would that little T-handle have loosened them. I'm also not convinced the T- would get them tight enough. I use a 1/2" socket and ratchet. There's risk of overdoing it. Either work the chrome shell loose from the steel nut, or strip the first thread or two out of the steel nut. The nut catches on very little of the wheel stud.

Thanks Vicrv....that's the one. I looked around and in spite of Dicor's $15 freight charge on a 1 oz., $6.50 item, if you're buying several they still may figure a few dollars cheaper than a couple of RV dealers. They "got ya" so what ya gonna do? Appreciate your help.
