I'm having trouble finding lug nuts to fit the 16" wheels on my 2014 Bighorn 3010RE. The ones that came on it are 2" chromed 9/16" nuts that have a cheap chrome metal cap over the steel nut. The chrome caps are becoming stripped and I am worried that they will not be able to be removed if I need to change the tires. Some of the caps have actually split open. I have tried all kinds of RV shops, tractor trailer service and auto parts stores locally with no luck. Anybody have any suggestions where I might get some good, solid steel lug nuts?

I just bought 32 of these http://www.trailerandtruckparts.com...t-Hand-Threads-5458L_p_1473.html#.V5qOMaJTvIU 9/16-18, 3/4" hex, Chrome plated. They do not have a cover to worry about. Great service too. Hope this helps.

I called Heartland and gave my vin number. When I asked for eight lugs she gave me the part number and the phone number of their supplier. I do not know where I put the information, but they were less than $3.00 each and fast shipping. If I am remembering correctly the shipping wasn't a lot as well.

I bought new solid lug nuts from Jegs. (McGard 64806 - McGard Acorn/Conical Seat Lug Nuts and Lug Nut Kits) I've been giving away my old ones. I rounded one with a socket wrench and it was not fun trying to get it to loosen.

I second this order from NAPA. No issues so far with the lug nutz and they are solid
Thanks for all the replies and help. We have a couple of NAPA outlets in my local area and I had tried there for the nuts with no success. I will return there with the part # and see if they can get them in for me. Shipping from the US to Can usually involves border/customs hassles and extra fees along with delays in delivery. If I can't get them locally, or shipped to Canada reasonably, I will pick them up next time I am across the border. Thanks again all.

I use only solid lug nuts on my trailers.
The Cyclone has these; Gorilla Automotive 76198 9/16" Duplex Acorn Lug Nut
The boat trailers get solid stainless steel lug nuts from Trailer Tires and Wheels

I ordered a folding set of crutches for my wife from Canada. The owner and designer of them said to ship postal so there would not have a problem with customs. Got them quick and no problem. Perhaps ask them to be shipped by US Postal.
Thanks to all for the tips regarding trailer lug nuts. Porthole, I was able to buy the Gorilla brand that you recommended and they were perfect. Swapped out the new for old today and re-torqued all to factory specs. When I removed the OEM lug nuts, 15 of the 32 nuts were either rounded off, or the chrome cap was splitting. The new nuts are solid and I do not anticipate any trouble in the (hopefully Never) event of a flat on the road. As a side note...the new Sailun 637's are MUCH heavier than the old towmax.
