Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Don't you just love it when you've finished a long drive over a couple of days and you open the RV, get all set up for an extended stay and discover a loose screw on the floor.  Now where did this come from?  And the fact that it's on the floor near the compartments with all the control devices and fuses, does not help at all.

LOL! I can totally relate...I find them frequently. My daughter usually brings them to me and says, "Daddy, I found this".

Sometimes I can figure out where it came from... sometimes I can't so I chalk it up to the factory worker dropping it & not retrieving it. Like Gene says, put them in a jar.

Every time I remove a panel I find screws and other fasteners left from the assembly crew.

Glad to know it's not just us!! Figured it out, cabinet screw had worked loose this time, it's just amazing how rough some of our highways are, we had a lot of rough roads on the drive from CA to AZ so it's a wonder we didn't have more things working their way loose.
