Bolts

Noticed that a couple nuts n bolts are missing from the bathroom walls that hold them to the Hinges. Can't find them at home depot or lowes. Any suggestions? 2015 rockwood hw276

I hate the bathroom wall mounts. I'm always tightening them each trip out. This post weekend I put toothpicks in the hole to tighten it up. Mine is just screws though that loosen. Can't even think where there are nuts and bolts

Yes the screws that hold the hinge to the main non moving wall on mine were also loose I too used toothpicks and wood glue. But I'm talking about the bolts that you use for the wall that moves (with the mirror) the bolts hold the hinge to the wall that flips up. Both walks. But I did find some that should work but the head on the bolts are small in diameter and they are about 2 washer to short.but they should be fine. I'm bolting and using lock tight on all the acorn nuts. Hopefully that will keep them from coming loose again.

I have no idea what bolts and nuts you're talking about in your case, but I do suggest using nyloc nuts in any application you can, both inside or outside the rv, ... they WILL NOT loosen and fall off the bolt, ... vibration, twisting, ect., can cause just about any screw in an rv to loosen, I use machine screws and nyloc nuts as replacements ever time I possibly can, ... the link below is a sample from Lowes, .....
