Same here.  We roll at 45psi cold - pressures usually bump up to around 52-54psi after 20-30 minutes this time of year...FYI

..and same here

As noted by @Patriot -- I frequently check the fasteners after travel. 

I have my tires at 55#. However, a couple of rough washboard roads have convinced me to lower my tire pressure more. Even though I go really slow, the vibration impacts everything. This last trip, I opened the Truma AquaGo WH (outside panel) to turn it on, and discovered a screw sitting against the panel door. It took me a while to figure out where it came from. That required me to go buy a TORX screwdriver (star-shaped), and Blue (medium) Locktite. 

I also purchased some other new tools this week, for dealing with Zerks. But that's another story. 

I wish we had a "recommended tools" list on the OTT Service Knowledge Base (a more robust list, I should say)... because sometimes you find a need and no hardware within distance.

I am planning to start dosing screws with red loctite going forward 

 

thanks all

I'd use blue. But it's up to you  

Red  is quite difficult to remove,  when you have the need

I wouldn't do that on the valve set screws. They require adjustments, if Oliver is doing service, that would be very hard to break the bond. Anything that requires adjustment should not be using locktite red for sure, and probably not at all.

 

Things like the attic storage hinge screws for sure.

We have had the set screws on the stainless railing between the dinette and the bed work themselves loose early-on.

Also solved by Loc-Tite; hasn't happened since.

We have an LE. I don't believe the LE-II model has that railing... the pantry is there instead.

That reminds me! I have one of those that 'escaped' that I have to re-apply.

40 psi on our OE2.
