I have a 2008 Cruiser 5th wheel, does anyone know what size the lug nuts are and where is the wrench to change my flat tire?
Thank you.

My son got me the cheapest battery powered impact wrench that Harbor Freight sells.

keep the battery in the charger, plugged in in the basement when in camp and it is always ready.

(Works on the stabilizer jacks, too.)

I would test that wrench in the driveway before putting much faith in it. They are very weak where they fold.


Been using it for five years no issue, I have multiple trailers so it is the best tool for my use. The connection is in the center and is quite strong.

"Where is the wrench"...? Are you asking where the "factory" lug nut wrench is on your camper? Because there is none. It is not like a car (or truck) that comes with a jack and lug nut wrench behind the seat... TT or Fivers don't come with those, you have to get your own.

If you are lucky, your tow vehicle's wrench and jack will work with your camper. Otherwise you need to buy what you need. If you are having trouble figuring out sizes, try an auto parts store (NAPA or other) on a slow day and ask the counter people for help. To be polite, assuming they go out and help figure what you need, you should buy the parts / equipment from them.

Do you have a local repair garage that knows you? Pull in there, they will probably be glad to help figure out what you need.

And I suggest once you know the size, instead of removing from your set to carry you get that size, a long breaker bar, and extension for socket and if needed the bar.
BTW, I use extension to hold socket in line with stud.

The quickest way to find out what size socket you need for any hex nut or bolt is to just measure across two opposite flats.

Thank you.

A year model or trailer brand doesn't tell us what size lug nuts any trailer has.
You have the trailer so its easy to find that out on your own.

I have several 4 way lug wrenches. The one that fits the lugs on my 5th wheel rv trailer stays in the trailer. I also keep one in the wifes 1500 chevy...one in my 2500 Dodge truck ....and one in my old 3500 drw chevy beater....two in my garage.

TSC stores (tractor supply) or a farm and ranch store or a automotive parts store may carry the size(s) you need.

I took the OPs question to mean "I have a flat right now, where is my lug wrench?"

Like mentioned above, the time to find out if you have the proper tools, to do this, is before it becomes an emergency.

Like I mentioned earlier, your truck tire iron may work in this emergency.

I carry a breaker bar, and correct size 6 point HD impact socket, and a torque wrench for tire changes while traveling.

Your fifth wheel is relatively light, so 1/2"-20 studs.

To answer your question: 13/16", 6 point deep chrome socket, 1/2" x 6" extension, and 1/2" x 18" long breaker bar. I use a 16" long ratchet on mine and it works fine.
