I am glad my
Campster still has its wheel covers. They were pop riveted on. A few of those rivets are gone and the PO replaced them with screws which ended up over sizing the holes. Looking at it closely I realized the issue with them loosing the wheel covers is that there is a variable gap between the surface of the wheel cover edge and the surface of the shell edge. It is fairly wide down at the lower edge of the cover and trailer. That is not a good situation, it creates a lot of movement around the hole under the rivet head and the hole the base of the rivet mushrooms against. Two surfaces pulled tight against each other are a lot more durable of an installation. I have to address that issue on my
Campster before I hit the road with it this
fall.
