Added a new screw and worked perfect. No other issues and I hope you have the same good luck. A few things I have done to mine.

1. Added an outlet to the right of the kitchen sink.
2. Install the Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C power protection.
3. Moved the spare tire under the hitch.
4. Added a TV to the bedroom.
5. Replaced the toilet (had the smell identified in other threads I found on this site). This was free because of a recall by the manufacturer of the toilet.
6. Replaced the mattress with a sleep number bed.
7. Re-caulked the shower (seems to be a continuous problem as also identified in threads on this site).

Have you made any changes to yours? Good luck with your rig and I hope you love it as much as we do!

I have made a couple of mods...My wife is in the middle of decoration, so I will stay out of her way until she is finished. Some things I have done so far:

1. Installed the Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C power protection with remote display mounted by main control panel.
2. Installed a shower soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser.
3. Installed lighting in 2 compartments.
4. Added step pads.
5. Installed roof vent shields.

If the steps continue to bother me may end up installing electric steps. Thought about additional outlets.

We had the dealer add the vent caps. I also added step pads, touch lights in the basements and replaced the shower head with an oxygenics (forgot about all of those).
I don't know why they didn't put an outlet on the right of the sink. It made no sense not to have one at the largest counter section and with the short cord they put on appliances now, you can't plug it into the lower cabinet mounted ones.

I talked with my wife about adding an extra outlet and she says it is not necessary. I think she might change her mind at some point. I wish they (FR) would give you more options as upgrades. The cost would be much lower / easier while building the unit versus making changes later. Hard for me to believe they didn't add lighting in all of the cargo areas. Would have been so easy when building the unit. I would have also liked a power step option. So far pretty happy, but have yet to use the main systems on the TT. Hoping the weather gets better soon so I can get a 30amp outlet installed outside of my house....That way I can plug in and really test and check everything....

I actually installed 12 volt lighting. I bought them from Amazon and they seam to work pretty good. Thanks for the suggestion, though...
