Broken Screw...ugh
Getting ready to leave for a trip this weekend, going over the camper and found this. Not sure how long it's been like it but does anyone know what size screw this needs? 2018 x17z. Thanks.

If part of the screw is still in there, just drill close to it a pilot hole and install a new zip screw. Be sure to caulk the old screw hole.....

Take the other side its screw out and you'll know the exact length, but with 1" screw you'll be OK. It just holds on the drip cap.

If you want a black screw, take it out the electric panel and replace that one.

My wife and I just purchased a 2018 19h. During the demo, we found the same issue. Something else for everyone to check and keep an eye on.

May want to get a stainless screw. Believe Ace carries stainless with black heads.

They are about 3/4" to 1". Bought many when redoing my roof and floor. The walls are slightly over 1" thick on the front and rear bunk area. I think they are #8.
