Your popping interior rivets from a cause.

Either your axle is bad, and/or your running gear is out of balance.

Olympic rivets are for the exterior only.

Also using Olympic rivets with the washers, on the exterior, is a guarantee of having water leaks, and is recommended by those that know little to nothing of an Airstream's behavior when towing.

Regular Olympics are used on the exterior, along with Vulkem sealer.
