This is an all season trailer so heater switches may be correct. It’s strange they are semi hidden with no identifier.

I have a F-250 but the best truck is the one that gets the job done and gets you home.

Lugnuts

A good rule of thumb is about 100 ft. lbs. Any tire dealer will be able to help you. The torque wrench will not be an issue if stored in baggage as opposed to carry on.
