[Antique Pedaler]

I had roughly the same experience as Ibrodsky with the bathroom door track on my '99 Safari 27 a year and a half ago. Mine was fastened with sheetrock screws which started shaking loose after a long trip. So I did a similar modification with thru bolts. The only difference was to buy a nice brass bracket and brass bolts with brass end cap nuts. So the installation looks nice.

As an aside, most of the corner and door facing wood trim was also inadequatey fastened for the long haul. Pieces started working loose after about 7,000 miles. The answer here was also decorative brass ...tiny screws.

I think things can be expected to work loose over the miles. So I periodically make the rounds with a wrench and screwdriver and tighten nuts, bolts and screws. One thing I missed this year was the hot electrical lead to the Frig. It worked out of the connector, hit steel and closed the breaker. It took a while to trace down what happened.

But I gotta tell you.....compared with the fit, finish and components in a highend brand Pickup camper I bought a number of years ago, this Airstream is a delight.
