Who would use just wood screws to mount a major component like the rearview mirror? Ok I know I am a little critical because I come from an aerospace background and can't imagine some of the things I have seen in RV construction.
So for a temporary repair I put some larger screws screws back in till I get home (out back of Zion today) where I will do a more permanent and more robust repair.
If your mirrors are vibrating you probably have a similar problem.

Chances are if the treads are rusted off of the screws you have a leak in that area. If it has been there for awhile the wood underneath may be rotted. If this is the case 4 in lag screws into a piece of 1/2 in wood will hold it in place without vibration.
