Lost hubcaps
I have a 2018 Mercedes sunseeker motorhome. I have lost three of the four hubcaps while traveling, any ideas what is going on?

We have a 2020 isata3 built on a 2018MBS and have lost one rear cap as well. Seems to be pressure applied so expect to lose second one on the next rough road passage. I have seen others that suggest various methods to secure but I feel hub cap is mostly for show and clean lines.

What stainless steel zip ties have you used to secure your hubcaps?

I just replaced all four wheel simulators with the bolt ons from Real Wheel. They attach on the fronts with hooks and they attach on the rears with brackets. They seem great to me.
