Overlord ... You get used to the feature on the 3150's as the front pass through storage compartment door is too close to the entry door to be able to pin it back to the sidewall like most other RVs. It swings open over 90 degrees, so it really isn't an issue for most. I had the "loose screw syndrome" as well. I fabbed a aluminum spacer block that fits behind the rain gutter and the shock mount. It keeps the screws and shock bracket from crushing the rain gutter causing the screws to become loose each time you retighten the screws. It's worked with the original screws for going on 3 years now. I will say though ... rivnuts sound like a good alternative fix.
