The fender washers were P/N 1171212

I twisted the heads off several of the existing crews so I ended up just adding the new ones in between the existing. Most drilled in fairly easy, but a few were tough to get in. I assume I drilled those into the web of the I beam instead of the flange. I did not drill pilot holes. I used a 1/4" cordless impact driver. I just did the section forward of the axles, the rear looked pretty good and had gas lines, spare tire carrier, etc to help support. I looked at 8ft sections of light gauge angle iron that had the holes and slots in it. I might add 2 or 3 of those later.
When I pulled a corner of the chloroplast down to look around I got a couple cups of water on me. I was right under the dump valve so I immediately thought...oh great, a poo-nami. But it was clear and didn't stink. I hoping it's condensate, but I may rig up a pressure test for my water supply lines.
I have decided when I get home from Florida I'm going to replace all my lag screws with the stainless and fender washers. But while I have the chloroplast down I'm going to repair a sticking gray water valve and add some extra insulation.

I went back to the lumber yard and bought 2 pieces of the angle iron. Cut one of them to the width of the frame and used the screws to attach midway between the existing braces. I will get the other one done next week.

similar issue with 2013 Laredo

I had to drive back home to TX like that. Thankfully it stopped raining and the wind hopefully dried things out.

When we returned I took it into CW to be repaired. Although it was 2 month out of warranty Keystone approved the repairs. All but 2 of the screws across the front were either rusted off or had completely missed the liner. Just the force of the wind would have pulled the liner off. I had them replace all the screws and install a piece of flashing across the front to stop any intrusion of air or water between the liner and the front of the trailer.

I have finally figured out my underbelly water issue (9 years later).
The left side underbelly has only 3 screws attaching it. They are there to clamp the propane black pipe from tanks to the RH distribution place. I happened to push up on the droopy belly and watched the coroplast slide back and forth.. A screw up at manufacture? Will follow your plan for the front flashing.
