    Extension Stabilizers for 16" Alcoa Wheels

    I am going to use solid metal ones, but I need to stabilize it in the aluminum wheel so the rubber valve stem does not come apart.  I can only use the rubber/metal valve stem on the Mercedes Steel Wheels.  Any ideas for stabilizers?

    Wells Cargo Road Force wiring caution

    2013 Winnebago Tour - New Purchase

    One other note of interest. Forest City will do seven items on drop in basis. When those are done you can get in line with another seven items. We did that in July and they were great. Most dealers just suck. Nuff said. Winnebago is a class act. Sometimes it takes getter a supervisor...
