Anybody know where I can get a set of hubcaps that will fit the wheels on my 95 Jayco 1206. I assume that they are 10" wheels. The tires are 20.5 x 8 x 10.
Wal-Mart or any tire store should have them. One note, you have to remove them every time you check the tire pressure and you should check that every time you tow. To me it is not worth the hassle.:)
JMHO, but the only use for hubcaps is to contain the lugnuts that fall off because you didn't remove them to retighten the lugnuts on the schedule given by all trailer manufacturers.

In the fifty years that I have been towing different types of trailers around this great country of ours I have never lost a wheel for any reason.. I have never tightened any lug nuts on the schedule given by trailer manufacturers....When installing wheels I tighten the lug nuts with a four way lug wrench that I have owned for years. After a days tow I check them again and rarely have to tighten any...I check them now and then and they are always snug..I have never owned or used a torque wrench to tighten lug nuts...Some will say that I am over tightening and risking stretching or stripping the threads or wringing off a stud. This has never been the case....All lug nuts on my 01 Niagara after 35,000 towed miles can be snugged up by hand.. I have never twisted off a stud and I dont think I could even if I wanted too..If you doubt this give it a try...Wheel bearing failure is by far the largest cause of trailer wheel loss that I have seen in our travels..The big problem I have had with wheel covers is keeping them from flying off...I have lost two so I now leave them off.......
If lug nuts on a wheel are loose they will show it by leaving a thin ring of black powdered steel around the nut and will often squeek when the wheel is turning slowly or backing up........
