yep, and I don't know how your brand is designed, but my Funfinder ( crusier rv ) has the aluminum stud wall system. These wall sections are bolted down thru the floor, and then thru the outriggers of the main chassis frame. After about 3000 miles of towing, I laid down under the trailer with a ratchet with extension and socket, and was able to snug up every single one of those bolts around the perimeter of the underside. Makes sense, some of that stuff probably settles in with time and use.
It's a good opportunity while under there to look everything over for being tight. I also found a run of wiring that passed thru a hole in a frame outrigger, and it should have had a grommet to keep from possible chafing thru the insulation of the wires, so that got fixed too.
This just goes to support my feeling about RV's in general: "some assembly required".
They should have used nylock nuts.
