I tend to cover mine in chocolate or whatever other sticky treats I'm enjoying while soaking up the miles

I'm not sure whether to be horrified or in awe. Either way, that's a steering wheel cover and a half!

OBG - our new camper is an early, so it comes with the brown interior trim. Not my favourite, to be honest. Was considering re-covering the whole lot using using some soft foam as a slightly squidgy backing and either decent vinyl or leather (probably a cream colour) on top. So, steering wheel would be a first toe in the water of re-trimming!

you have to be careful the t25 wheel is small diameter, lots of truck covers show 10cm circumferance this is too big

Bit of a resurrection here but what size diameter did you specify if the 10cm is too big?
