Newell Coach Lug Nut Cover Upgrade and Some Polishing! (Should Have Done This Sooner)

What happens here

The video starts with the creator expressing his excitement about a long-desired upgrade for his RV. He recounts a past incident where a flat tire on the RV's tag axle led to a hubcap being lost, which was replaced by a local shop. This interaction sparked the idea to upgrade the front hubcaps to a full-cover, polished style, similar to those found on older, high-end RVs. He holds up a bracket, explaining that the existing style of hubcaps on the front wheels will be replaced with new full-cover hubcaps.

Goal: Understand the project goal and the reason for the upgrade

if that upgrade isn't worth it for just that factor alone i don't know what would be it's a no-brainer today we're going to be doing some cool newel stuff i know that rhymes i didn't really try to do that sounds kind of lame but i'm excited to do this uh this is one just a little upgrade that i wanted to do for a really long time and kind of something that i knew i wanted to do even before i got one of these things before i do that i want to tell you a little story about some good business and kind of how this idea got prompted a while back before i went to uh circuit of the americas to race to escalade i noticed that there was a something like a nail in my tag tire and it would go flat and i would have to fill it up all the time well before right before that race it got really cold and that tire stayed flat and it actually like popped off the bead all by itself so i'm like all right i can't deal with this got to get it plugged i called the place down the street um snyder fleet solutions they came plugged the tire which is great their guys are mobile anyway but they didn't charge me for the mobileness because they're literally like 500 yards down the road um real quick it was like 55 bucks to get it filled guy was super cool puts it back on i go to austin my center cap flies off the stainless one in the middle if you know what i'm talking about you know how expensive these are and i was like pretty disappointed i'm like dang i'm gonna have to freaking get another one of those they're like real expensive and so i called them and i said hey here's what happened and they the lady transferred me to the manager the manager was awesome he said oh dude that's terrible no way like um what are you gonna be there let me come check it out we'll see what we need we'll find another one so they did they came out they measured everything they took pictures and they found and sourced another one of those caps identical to the ones i had and came and put it on there for me the reason it fell off is because the brackets were not spaced correctly on the wheel they were missing a bolt or something but yeah they fixed that and they owned up to it and guess who i'm going to use to buy new tires because of that a tire plug that cost 55 for me ended up costing them almost 400 to replace that cap because they replaced it now i knew where to get them for the front i've always wanted to do that so that's what we're going to do today we're going to put the whole cap cover style front…
