Screws everywhere

We just got our "Sunseeker" in February. Every time we sweep out the camper or get it ready to camp, we find screws laying on the floor. Has anyone else experienced this? So far, we have found at least 5 screws, of various sizes, on the floor of the camper. We can't find any place they might have fallen out of. I hope they are not meant to hold something we really need--like a cabinet! LOL

Keep'em, they may come in handy for potential repairs after warranty runs out! I find it nice just knowing that I have spares.... lol

The pressure to produce units is intense and the workers are generally paid by the unit so if they drop a screw it means losing money to stop and pick it up, especially if it has rolled under something. There is supposed to be a cleanup crew at the end of the line but they aren't particularly thorough either so it generally takes a few trips until everything rolls out of where it went when it got dropped.

Same thing with our 2016 Mirada. I was worried at first, but I think they just drop them during assembly and don't bother picking them up. It took a few trips but I think I've found most of them now. I'm sure they're just rolling out from under tables, stoves etc.
