Open Roads Forum  >  General RVing Issues  > Replacing white square head screws This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next keithscamper • View posts Louisiana Full Member Joined: 03/02/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/01/08 05:00pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Does anyone know where replacement camper screws can be found? The white square head screws on the outside of the camper seem to be a size 8, but have the thread count of most size 10 screws. The ladder screws have an even more course thread. I want to replace them all with stainless steel phillips or square head screws, but cant match them up. 2002 F250 CC SB 2WD PSD Prodigy, Pace Edwards Trac-Top cover, Line-X, Husky 16K 4-way, chrome tube grille. 2002 Jayco Eagle 277RBS Fifth Wheel with slide awning pkunk • View posts Questa, NM Senior Member Joined: 12/28/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/01/08 05:23pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Take a look at Mcfeeleys.com.

Worked fine. Then I painted the heads with a white paint pen.

I know from several years dealing with commercial construction that if you go back in to the original hole you MUST use the next diameter larger screw so that it will re-form new tight threads. Otherwise vibration will back out the new ones quickly. A good hardware store can determine the thread type as well. Go back in with the same type just next size larger. If it is a #8 go back in with a #10 etc. Hope it helps.

As for the square head, that's because of the screwdrivers they use at the factory, Any head will work so long as you have the matching bit 2nd http://www.tradesmenfastener.com/ is where I go for anything I don't find in my hardware store.. Now, if you happen to be in my neighborhood, Come and shop there.. If not.. Well.. There will be a company much like 'em in most any city of size.
