Helpful Expert Reply:
The recommended torque range for lug nuts varies by the stud diameter, wheel size and wheel material and if you refer to the linked chart you can see the torque range for 1/2-inch studs starts at 75-ft-lbs and goes as high as 120-ft-lbs. Many RVs use a 15-inch or 16-inch steel wheel and for wheels this size on 1/2-inch studs that are secured with standard 60-degree coned lug nuts the torque range is 90 to 120-ft-lbs.
If you need a torque wrench we offer several wrenches like # ALL944001 and also adapters you can use with a socket, such as # ALL940962 shown on the linked page.
