Motorhome Spare Tire Covers

[LeeMo]

Does anyone have any good sources for wheel covers like or similar to the one pictured below? I'd like to find one for my motorhome. Thanks in advance.

I didn't get any encouraging words from anyone out there. I know these were supplied by the factory, so perhaps I should address this with Airstream Inc. Any feedback is welcomed.

Here's a couple more.

I checked with Airstream Inc. and they informed me that the molds for the Airstream spare tire covers had been destroyed.

I have found some manufacturers that make customized tire covers, but I am still not totally satisfied. I received no commentary on this thread and I assume this is a tough item to find new or used.

Nonetheless, Thanks.

LeeMo,
This may be of some value, years ago I made a spare tire cover for my brother. I bought a plain white vinyl cover from CW, cut a paper stencil of the shapes and words needed, taped them securely to the purchased cover and spray painted it with vinyl paint from an automotive supply house. Last time I looked it still looked good. May not be as good as the original but it will get you by until you find one off of a wreck.

you may want to contact Colaw's RV Salvage in MO. They may have one. ALso do a search for RV Salvage in FL. I've heard of another good yard on I-10 down there. Good luck.

One more idea - if you want the "hard shell" cover try a web search on "Continental Spare Tire Cover". I found a number of hits for conversion vans tire covers

We had to replace our cover some time ago it was damaged, we found out as you did no longer available from A/S . We patched it together and used it as mold to fiberglass a new mold hey presto, only problem for you is to find someone with one to use as a mold as we are based in the England.
