There are no stupid questions only stupid people that DONT ask them

NEVER be ashamed to ask a question - better that than make a serious mistake by NOT asking

Aftermoon guys, I know this topic was posted a while back but may I recommend you try this wheel cover kit from NR Awnings, adhesive press studs stay on the van without the need for drilling! No suckers that fall off and no ugly velcro that fills with dirt and stops working.

A proper solution at last and a reasonable price ;-)

Below are two links, one to the product and one which actually shows you how to fit the NR Wheel Cover Kit itself.

Glad I can help you. :)

These very nice little 40mm self adhesive fixings are called SNADs, and are made by YKK.

I avoided drilling or sticking anything to my van
I've got a piece of plywood that fits snugly inside the wheel arch which has velcro strip stuck on it's face which corresponds with the velcro strip on the skirt.

Our previous van (an Elddis crown regent) had poppers in the wheel arch for it, they looked like they had been there from new.

We too were confused about the wheel arch - but we bought a Draught Stoppa and it works a treat -

i just use duct tape to hold it on and it works perfectly well on a smooth surface, doesn't leave any marks on the side of the bodywork either, tried blue tak but that only held for a couple of days. I would deffo stay clear of drilling any type of holes in the side of your caravan, to me thats just courting disaster.
