Loose body bolts?

I have a 2014 X-lite 22 footer. While checking the brakes recently, I notices some 9/16" nuts on bolts protruding downward on the outside perimeter of the trailer and all of them were loose so tightened them up with a wrench. We went on a trip then noticed the nuts were loose again so this time put on some Locktite blue. We went on another trip and they still loosened up so will put on Locktite red next.


Has anyone else been through this?

Many folks have experienced bits coming loose did you put enough blue locktite on? Red can be very hard to get a nut loose after application

My understanding is that red loctite requires heat to remove. If the bolts are located near flammable material or material that could melt you might consider replacing them with nyloc nuts.
