Wall bolts

This may not be the right place for this,

While doing some maintenance under my camper I noticed the nuts that connect the walls to the frame were loose, one about ready to fall off.

Upon checking the rest all were loose some just barely finger tight. I tightened them all and used some lock tight.

Has anyone else had this problem, and how tight should they be.

I had the exact same thing on my 2018 MiniLite. Tighten them all up. I'll check my new trailer right away.

Checked my new 2511s and all were pretty tight. Added a turn or 2 to all.

Also, hand checked ALL square drive screws on the trailer. BTW there's lots of them. Only 2 were over tightened and stripped on the bathroom lower cabinet style. I was amazed to say the least.
