I have a neighbor who used to.deliver RVs. They have the same 10 / 25 / 50 re-torque instructions from the tow service they are contracted with. He stated the lugs were only checked prior to departure on their delivery run. Same guy though said he pulled one fiver that he had to re-tighten the lugs on one particular trailer every 25 miles due to repeatedly coming loose.

On our MHC, I'm convinced the lugs were WAY overtorqued with an impact wrench. Hence the reason I always found our lugs tight when checked, yet snapped off 6 lug studs on the same hub all at once. No large potholes or curbs were ever involved.

Anyway - just wanted to pass this along. Hoping no one else comes across this particular issue. It is rather unnerving when one discovers "Elvis has left the building" Happy camping all and safe travels.
