    I know most Marathons have a G4 Halogen in the puck lights. Look that up on your computer and you can see if it’s the same.

    If you get ambitous there are Leds out there that are a direct replacement for the G4 but you need to do a little research.

    Don’t know about the struts.

    Most large truckstops or travelcenters have a bling section and most have a bin with different assorted lug covers for 1,50 a piece. Otherwise online they would make you buy a pack of 10. Just about all truck part supplies would have something.

    Dave,

    There are many many styles of lug nut covers out there in the marketplace. First you need to know if you have

    33 mm nuts (Hub piloted wheels) or 1½” nuts (stud piloted wheels). 1995 was kinda of the change over year from 1½” to 33 mm in the trucking industry. Hopefully you have 33mm because there are alot more of them to pick from Most truck stops do carry some, but with every mfg. making their own style, it could be tough. We carry a bunch of lug nut covers, but there are many times a customer will bring in one that we cannot match. What ever you do, get stainless steel or the chrome plastic ones. The s/s are not made of the best stainless, but they are way better than the cheap chrome steel ones. Heck, I put some of the cheapie chrome ones on before the Oklahoma City rally and they have already rusted sitting in the garage. Another problem is that alot of the convertors have their “own”captive nut and wheel covers.

    You could email me a picture of what you have and we can try to match it, but new 33 mm ones start at $.87 each for the plastic ones. We sell about 20,000 of these a year.

    You can call us at 800-496-6303 during the week

    Thanks for the replies, the light bulbs that are in the salon, bedroom. kitchen dont look look the G4 holgen bulbs. they do have the 2 prong on them . I dont think they are holgens. The wheel/nut cover that i am looking for is the stock marathon cover. it looks like the set that is for sale in the flea market , i understand why the gentlemen doesnt want to break up the complete set. i was hoping someone had 1 for the tag/steer axle just sitting in there shop collecting dust.

    Dave, those are most definitely captive items from Marathon. I can’t help.

    For those struts just call Prevost parts in Chicago and have your s/n handy. They are not very expensive.

    My interior bulbs are G-4 like Bernie stated. I have a whole bag of them you can have, changed all out to LED. If you have something different, give us a picture.

    Thanks Tom, I will take them! I have added a picture of the wheel nut cover i am looking for. I was hoping someone had one on the shelf. I SURE wished i did some homework prior to this purchase. I have done ALOT of reading since and you guys are right on the money when buying a older coach. yes i know the wheels need to be polished and it will get done ! lots of work and lots of money for me anyways. she will look good again

    Thanks

    Those are referred to as peanut covers. I don’t know. Maybe 1 will turn up somewhere.

    lost a nut cover on my 91 XL last week. Went to tire shop and they looked at style and sold me a few for a buck a piece. Any commercial tire shop should have them.
