Exactly !!
The annual inspection for loose screws is not going to happen among 95% of RV'ers, (nor does it have to) so we can forget that.
I have run into a lot of loose connections in my life, but NONE that I had ever installed or tightened many years before.
I nearly lost a 200 amp box on my new home, at about 1 yr old, and all installed by a genuine elec tech. Had weird stuff happening under heavy loading,,,,A/C etc. Went looking, and when walking by the main panel, sounded like an arc welder inside,.....all because one allen screw in a buss bar. And don't even try to tell me that it was ever tightened correctly from day one. Did I need to inspect the elec tech's work ?? YES ! And only because the inspector for the electrical permit sure didn't !
My advice,...check all the connections for tightness maybe twice, a few days apart from each other, tighten them correctly,......or as tight as possible ????? They will not come loose, even if you go stump jumpin in your RV.
