Found this valve under my airstream????

Hi- I found this under my airstream but can't tell if it's something that fell off my airstream or was already on the ground and left by someone else. I looked under my airstream and in manual and can't seem to see where this would fit. Has anyone with a 16ft Sport bambi seen this? Kate

What location did you find this in? A parking lot, campground site, etc.?

If you can't find where it fell off your AS, I would guess it belongs to a portable grill, lawn chair, portable table, tripod for camera, etc. as some kind of tightening nut. Can you post a photo of the base, where it might attach (lock on to?) to something?

...or the wing nuts on a roof rack of an SUV like my Pathfinder..
There is nothing under my trailer that looks like that.

For now, save it. Costs you nothing and who knows whether you might discover where it fell off of a week from now and miles down the road. Hopefully it was just road debris, but why chance it. Anyway I save all sorts of odds and ends and find new uses for them.

OMG, that is part of the drive train for your trailer. Don't tow it until you get it repaired.







Just kidding. Looks like someone lost their wing nut.
