Checking screws for tightness is part of my normal pre-trip preparation. If we are on the road for several weeks, I usually check them several times during the trip. The screws in the fiberglass under the front are notorious for being loose as are the screws in the fender skirts. Be careful not to overtighten as that little extra turn may just strip them out. Another place to check is the J-wrap to the frame. Those are bolts, but they get a bit loose and the sheet metal wears a hole bigger than the bolt head and next thing you know, the j-wrap is flapping in the wind as you drive down the road!!
