Mystery Bolt

2018 Classic33FB. Found bolt laying in the small rear chassis compartment. (Not the bumper compartment). Airstream can't ID it and I'm sure it's not from anything I have in the compartment. 1 5/8" Long overall, bolt shaft 1 1/4" Long,
3/8" Long thread, 1/2" diameter hex head. It appears to be intended for a pivoting joint. Anyone have a clue?

It is similar to a shoulder bolt that fastens into the outrigger for the steps to glide on. The older trailers had a bolt with a flat head. Maybe the newer trailers have a hex head, as shown in your photo.

Maybe?

It also looks like the pivot bolt from the side arms of the power stabilizer jacks.
