I have a 2000 Millennium that the screws are rusting here and there. It is 48 foot so I am going to do a panel at a time

Where have you guys bought replacement screws?

Stainless or powder coated preferablly...

Thanks

I would think any hardware store should have stainless screws. I'd think that on powder coated screws the paint would flake off when you used a bit on them??

Here ya go. This was sent to me a while back by another member.

the screws come from Totally Stainless, 1945 Heidlersburg Road, Aspers, PA 17304.
They are #10x3/4 Square Drive Truss.

Take out a few at a time, clean and polish the area, use a dab of RTV on the screw when putting them in.

Hopes this helps. Beep

I will try Totally Stainless and see what they have.

I mentioned powdercoated because I just saw a new trailer that had powder coated screws. It did flake on some around the bit but it looked nice.

Thanks.....

48 ft.......

Man, I feel for ya.

Replacing the screws in my 24 ft was about as much fun as a root canal without novocaine.

I would put stainless in and be done with it.

I bought stainless from Fastenal. I have an '02 40' 5th wheel, not fun. I have been replacing them as they rust for the past 4 or so years. Be careful, some may snap on you, some will come out easy, and go in tough, and vice versa.

Yeah they tend to break off... at least in my case...
I think I'm going to spray them with bolt ease or
something like it to help get them out.... I've got
a 43' 5th wheel and ALOT of the screws are rusted...
I wish I could have found stainless screws when I
built it
