[PUZZLE SOLVED] - Lets play a rousing game of where did these 2 bolts come from!
After rattling through Michigan, I opened the door on our 23IKSS to find these two rather important looking bolts lying just inside the door. I am beginning the process of looking for their home, but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction 
Thanks
Kamp

Looks like TV (television) mounting bolts.

I just left Colorado (Thornton) after 26 years...
And I'm originally from southern Michigan (Jackson) and am flying back there for a few days in two weeks.

Rattling through Michigan is very accurate. I cringe every time I go through Flint on 69. With or without my TT.

Could be from dining room chairs, if not TV mounting.

I feel your pain. After towing the TT to Ft Polk Louisiana 2 weeks ago with no issues as soon as I hit Michigan on I-69 coming home my shower door jumped off it track and luckily no damage and then my wheel well shirt screws backed out and almost lost that.
My guess is the screws are out of the door handle.

Rattling through Michigan is quite right! We just got back from a few days up by DTE and there are some rough roads up there.

Allen Head mount bolts in chairs or seating. Looks like the ones we had come out of some recliner arms.

Could be the mounting bolts for your Microwave and the outside frame. My came out and I noticed when the left hand side of the microwave was way inside the cabinet so that the door would not open all the way

Heading into Michigan Thursday. I guess I'll take note of everything and batten down the hatches.

Rattling through (ENTER ANY STATE NAME) is the new reality of RVing. We just returned from a trip through NJ, central PA, NY, VT, MA, VA, MD and WV. I can't say where the roads were worse. I may have to visit the dentist to see if I've cracked any teeth.

Remedy
We boondock far into gravel washboard roads...typically 11 or more miles one way.
For the first couple years, every arrival (coming or going) required a thorough search for hardware and loose fasteners. Every so often a missing fastener I replaced long ago will come rolling out from under the slide.
Nothing earth shattering about this recommendation, but I never put anything back without: - Using Loctite on machine bolts;
- or replacing conventional nuts with nylock nuts;
- or, in the case of screws, using Gorilla glue in the hole and on the threads...and frequently upsizing the screw slightly.
Repairs have included table pedestals, retaining screws for the microwave and furnace, cabinet hinges, the PUP's mount for the removable door, and SOOOOO much more. I carry a large selection of screws, nuts and bolts...in many cases stainless steel to allow indoor and outdoor applications. My hardware kit includes both Loctite and Gorilla glue.
Gorilla glue bonds amazingly well to wood and metal...serving much like Loctite. Apply sparingly because it expands a lot...much like expanding spray foam insulation...so a little goes a long way.
None of the parts subjected to this treatment have every come apart on their own. I have not attempted to remove any Gorilla-glued screws, but I suspect I'd need to use a small impact driver to break the bond.
As I said, not earthshattering advice, but it sure beats the hell out of sweeping up bits and pieces of your TV screen after it falls to the floor.

That's funny, I went to just south of Detroit to pick up a street rod with my 30ft car hauler and thought I would need more back surgery after I got home. The roads are very bad.
