Tighten Outrigger Nuts

Does anyone know the torque spec or how tight the wall support outrigger nuts should be? They are not even finger tight on our 2021 Jay Flight.

Also:
  • Is the bolt a carriage bolt?
  • Would nyloc nuts be a good call to keep them from loosening?

you can use the size for torque specs, and use locking nuts or nylocks if they are ahigh grade,,

An outrigger on a trailer is just a support to keep the cantilevered floor from drooping under the weight of the exterior wall. Just snug the nuts up and you're good, if you want to use nylocks that's probably better just to keep them from backing off, but torque is not an issue.
