Chris, as I pointed out to the first person who made the claim that the
new junky plastic wheel covers on my camper when I bought it were the
originals, the old, chrome, moon caps were in my van and had been
heavily used.  The seller had put on the plastic crap because he thought
it would be more attractive to buyers.  I asked him if he had the
originals, and he showed me the moon caps in a cabinet.

Not everyone who thinks he knows something does (me included of course),
but the plastic junk that was on the wheels when I bought the camper had
been put there by the guy who sold it to me, to replace the moon caps
that came on the van.  How many times do I have to say it?

BTW, the instructions in the manual show how to use the same puller to
remove both the plastic and the chrome covers.

Good grief!  David
