I developed sort of a system for keeping on my original 16.5 inch hubcaps. The day before a trip I take them off and check tire pressure, then I take the coach for a test drive locally. If they are going to fall off they usually will on my 1/4 mile bumpy gravel driveway. When they fall off I retrieve them and try again. Well, apparently the perpetually under major construction eastern portion of the PA turnpike was too much to handle. When we arrived at our campsite in Lancaster county I had lost 2 hubcaps. Is there anyway to make these things stay on? I don't have 3 grand in the motorhome budget for alcoa's and new tires. They sell these caps on eBay for $130 ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-5-8-Lug-GMC-RV-MOTORHOME-CHROME-Dual-Steel-Wheel-Simulators-Hub-Caps-Covers-/220951284826?hash=item3371b90c5a:m:mI7SwWf4zD1 zyaT_4c0Tp6A&vxp=mtr) anyone had luck with those? How much are replacement originals going for? My wife says just take them all off and be done with it, but the wheels look horrible and property painting them would cost more then new caps.

Any suggestions?
