Hello OBXcamper. Just a suggestion on the use of stainless hardware. Screws are usually not a problem as they don't have much stress on them. Jack bolts are another matter as a stainless bolt has a strength about equal to a grade 2 common steel bolt. So if your jack hardware are common bolts your good, but if they were grade 5 or up like mine (grade 5) when the stainless is a weaker bolt, won't rust but weaker. Just keep this in mind.

Very nice and better than new!! I'm slowly replacing screws and jack hardware with stainless steel. Shame the manufacturers don't use them to start with. Minimal cost.
