I am missing one of them. Is this a common part that I can get from AutoZone or wherever. Or is it unique to the motorhome? How can I get one?
Thanks.

Do you need the smaller diameter actual dust cap or the larger chrome plated decorative cap?
Jim B or K probably have both.
You may find the smaller cap on another vehicle at a pull-a-part or even at a parts house. Dorman makes a lot of those kinds of parts.

Now, I am confused. What I do know is it is on page 19-6 of the parts book. Item #15 in the illustration. Decription "CAP: Wheel brg. seal-outer)"

Paul,
When looking at the wheel/brake drum if you CAN see the cotter pin and the castle-ated (sp) nut then you need the small diameter about 2 1/2 to 3 inch dust cap. If you CAN'T see the cotter pin and nut because it is covered by dust cap then you are only missing the larger diameter 4 1/2 to 5 inch UNNECESSARY decorative cap. However, it looks better and it completely covers the hub center and wheel center opening.

It's a little hard to tell, but item 15 on that page looks like the inner dust cap. It is plain metal and about 2" in diameter, and helps keep the grease in. The outer cap is larger, about 4" (I'm guessing) and is chromed. If you have stock wheels and remove the hubcap you can see the outer cap. You need to remove it to see the inner cap.
Here's a couple photos of the inner cap:
