Title: Marquis aluminum wheel center hub cap
Post by: Jeremy Parrett on April 16, 2012, 01:48:12 AM

On our way across the USA we have lost the front passenger side center hub cap.   Wheel size is 22.5 inch with oil bath axle bearings.  Anyone know where I might buy a replacement or 4 similar hub caps that will fit.  This cap has a bowl  shape with a center hole to view the oil bath sight glass. Pic shows where center cap fits

Lost one as well, but if I don't care to see the oil bath axle bearings, is their a solid cap?  Then I'd need two!!

Jeremy and Randy,
Most large 18 wheeler chrome shops will have both types of wheel centers. You can also order them from Beaver Coach Sales in Bend Oregon.

Recently ordered two directly from Monaco. They had them in stock.  For under $ 2.00 each I also ordered and received two peel and stick stickers for the hub cap centers.

I have been amazed at how competent and kind the Monaco parts department has been.  We have owned our Beaver since last June, and have been pleased every time we have called Monaco for anything.  Follow through has been outstanding.  As an owner of an other than Beaver from a major manufacturer, we have enjoyed a positive experience by comparison.

Good luck.

I bought some in the parts department at a Peterbuilt dealership in Seattle.

I also lost one after having new tires installed in Bend.  Turns out there are about 3 different patterns of that cover.  I would recommend that you take in the survivor to make sure you get the one that will fit!   :)

Just a FYI, these come in stainless steel and chromed steel.  The steel ones will rust.

Amazon has several hubcaps.  Do a search for "Baby Moon Hub Caps". Don't know if they have your size.

Use the BAC Amazon search box and our club will get credit for the sale.

You will find the BAC search at http://beaveramb.org/Aomazom%20Ad/AmazonAd1.htm

Thanks Gil and Tim for the info.
I bought 2  hub caps from Empire Chrome  .  They exactly match the hub caps on my Marquis and they are stainless steel.
