FRONT HUBCAP ON 2017 Melbourne 24K

We lost our front hubcap. Anyone know where to purchase a new one that matches? We found one on Ebay for $96.

Have you tried Jayco? I took mine off when I first got it for that very reason. I am planning on repainting the wheels to get rid of the scratch marks. I would offer you one of mine but I would like to keep them for when I sell it in the future. To keep them on in the future there are SS wire ties at HD part #800-245 that will keep them on and keep them from spinning. Commercial Electric 11 in. Stainless Steel Tie (10-Pack)-MLG-300ST(10) - The Home Depot


Some even say it will help with the noise they can make at times.


Good luck

$96 ea! That might make me re-consider selling them.

I think they use 4 per wheel and when installed are barely noticeable.

Here is what the wire ties look like installed. You have to look hard to see them.

If you haven't found a replacement when you come east let me know.
