2018 silverback 37mbh

We took delivery in june,two issues power awning sticks when opening,thats going to be repaired by a local tec,other issue is a squeak in the bathroom floor any ideas on how to fix it my self,i did see they missed the stud with the screw,dont want to take it to dealer,it could sit there for 6 months,i was thinking maybe a bead of a sealant like liquid nail would work its easy to get at in the storage compartment

Had a squeak right at top of stairs at bath room. Thought same thing missed screws, yes two of them. Put in a plastic shim and glued did not fix it. What I found was the aluminum joist was squeaking on the steal support. The sound was traveling, really made it hard to pin point. Plastic shim took care of it. I absolutely hate squeaks.

You bring up a good point in regards to QC! The term "He has a Screw Loose" came from the RV world! Youroo!!
