Can The Dexstar Dual Wheel with 5-1/2" Offset Be Used On A 2023 Entegra Odyssey 26M Motorhome?

Question

Question:

Hello, I am shopping for wheel for my 2023 Entegra Odyssey 26M. When I enter the RV info I do see a wheel as one of the items for sale. My question is . . . are the wheels shown for an RV or trailer or both? The size/specs appear to match what I need for the RV. The objective is to assemble a spare for the RV. Thanks . . . Don

Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Dexstar Dual Wheel with 5-1/2" Offset # AM20790 can absolutely be used on your 2023 Entegra Odyssey 26M motorhome. It's can be used on heavy dually trailers as well as Ford E-350 and E-450 Class C motorhomes with dual wheels.

The important thing is making sure the wheel matches your chassis specifications. The # AM20790 is a 16" x 6" dual wheel with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, a 4.88" pilot hole, 5-1/2" offset, and a 3,500 lb load rating. If those specifications match your motorhome, then it's a perfectly acceptable replacement.

What kinds of trips do you take in your 26M? Weekend getaways or long cross-country?

Hello Jesse, Thanks for the reply to my question. The specs you mentioned all work out with one exception . . . the spec of the offset for my RV chassis is 136mm or 5.35. Based on what I have learned so far, the increased offset (5 1/2, 139.7mm) might (emphasis on might) interfere with other components but on the flipside, it may not. As for our trips, we are doing short ones for now. We recently moved from Nevada to where we are know (PA) and had a Class A at that time. Not exactly a pleasure trip, but it all worked out. We plan on a Florida trip next year. Thanks . . . Don

@DonM Thanks for the update, and congratulations on the move! You're right to pay attention to the offset. A difference of about 3.7 mm is pretty small, but with dual wheels and the tight clearances on a motorhome, it's definitely worth verifying before making the change. If everything else matches and you have enough clearance to the suspension and between the duals, I don't expect that small difference to create an issue, but I always like to err on the side of caution with wheel fitment. I hope the Florida trip goes a little smoother than the move. I just got back from a Florida trip (from St. Louis MO to Perdido Key FL) and it went great. A long drive but worth it. Safe travels, and don't hesitate to reach back out if any other questions come up!

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
