Some might remember door out of square, that is fixed but there is a slight "bump" where a bolt on the door frame looks like it might not be screwed all the way in. That is not a bother to me but will have rv place look at it. The thing that is worrisome is that I have a, what looks like a screw backing out on the side wall (near the top)of the pod. It reminds me of a drywall screw backing out. There are some "spider lines" originating out from this "raised" bump. Has anyone ever seen or had this happen to them. I intend to have someon from the rv place stop by and take a look at this.

Forgot to mention that this side wall "bump" is on the outside of the pod.

Easy fix..just unscrew the screw plug hole with waterproof exterior white caulk and screw back screws tight in holes. If the hole is stripped pull out the screw and replace the screw with the same length screw but a slightly thicker diameter. very in expensive and all will go well... Good luck !
