You might want to reconsider that 190-210# torque spec. The printed manual in our 2021 Solitude (08/2020 print date) also shows 190-210#. I checked the torque the first time and the lugs weren't even close. I cranked my wrench up to 190# and started pushing. After throwing my shoulder out of joint (just kidding) I thought that that can't be correct.
I started as a farm kid and have been putting wheels on cars, trucks, tractors, combines, etc. for 60 years - the first forty without a torque wrench. You develop a "feel". I "felt" like I was about to tear that lug off of the hub. I went to the GD website and downloaded the later versions of the Solitude Manual - 12/2020 and 06/2021. Both of those manuals show 130-150# for the 17.5" wheels with coned lug nuts (image attached). That's a substantial reduction from 190-210#. I think some writer at GD screwed up when they first started using the 17.5 wheels. That 190-210# spec is for a 5/8" lug, not 9/19, and for a flanged nut on a steel wheel.
I also attached a lug nut torque chart for etrailer's website.

@Tom Traveler; it is possible indeed that someone made a mistake while wiring the 190-210 ft. lbs.
I downloaded the latest manual for the Momentum series and it shows 140-170. I wonder why there's the discrepancy between the Solitudes and Momentums.

Tom Traveler - you are indeed correct! It looks like the Momentum manual has been updated... twice. The manual that came with our unit was the Rev 10.2020 which had the 190-210ft#; then Rev 05.2021 showed 130-150ft#; and now the latest update of Rev 02.22 has 140-170ft#. I wonder if they will go full circle with the next revision LOL.
