Wheel weight?

Found this lodged in the floor above the passenger rear tires. Embedded about 1".

Looks like a wheel weight. Wonder if it's mine or just road debris??

Could be either. Check the weights on your rims if the type matches it is likely yours....... hard to tell but it looks big (wide) could be off something else.

Just be glad that you did not find it in one of your tires...........

That looks like it has the clip for steel rims. If you have aluminum rims they are mounted with adhesive or double stick tape.

That's a TAL weight. You usually are only going to see these on medium and heavy duty truck wheels. I would be very doubtful that it was used on your trailer wheel....but who knows what other people do for sure.

Wait a sec, you have a motorhome, so it is possible then.

EDIT:

TAL- Truck Wheel Weights - Zinc
The most common weight on light to heavy-duty trucks with alloy rims, primarily Alcoa and Accuride aluminum, tubeless truck wheels manufactured after 1983. Weight is designed to fit the disc and open side rim flanges.
