There is a sticker on mine just over the wheel with the specs.

Ditto on checking before every trip. It is on our checklist and only takes a few minutes. Sorry that you had that issue. I am sure it was scary

Thanks again for all your replies! It was truly a learning experience and it could've been much worse.
I found a torque wrench to add to my toolbox for approximately $20.00. Funny how I have the same sticker right above my wheel well and I did not even notice it!  Hmmmm...perhaps that's not funny at all.... Love the 'furpod' user name....I can relate |

When we bought our 178 in March, I torqued the lugnuts before the camper ever turned a wheel towards home. I rechecked them before each trip this year & twice while on our 4,000+ mile trip. Each time there were a few nuts that turned slightly.
I use my Snap-On click style 1/2" drive torque wrench. Do not buy a gauge or needle style torque wrench; you don't want to be standing on your head trying to read the gauge to see if its torqued or not. The lugnut size on our '14 178 is 3/4"" |

My 171 uses a 13/16" socket for the wheel lugs and 3/4" on the spare wheel.
