3440 RL rusting screw in shower

I love my new RV. Just a few things I noticed right away that could be fixed by Montana with minimal cost. 1. The screw that holds down the drain in the shower is rusting after just 2 months in my brand new 2016 3440 RL Montana. Please use stainless steel screws for this is in the future. -- 2. The shower doors have a lip on the floor to hold them in place. Unfortunately it collects and holds water too. After a week its a collection of nasty water and etc (yuck). Please file the drain holes down to the point they drain fully. -- 3. So many amenities given but no place to put a bath towel? Add hooks somewhere in the bathroom.

If all you can find wrong is a rusty screw, you have been truly blessed.

Wish that those were the only issues we had with our 2015.

It's the little things that can really irk one for sure but of course there is an easy solution to the rusty screw.

As far as the shower, we put up with those wet rails for exactly one week and then installed one of those expansion shower rods on the inside of the enclosure along with a nice shower curtain. We did have to cut off the curtain for the right length but now we love our new larger shower even more. Just another great mod we discovered here on the MOC forum.

We added hooks to the bathroom also. In a way I'm kind of glad Keystone ignores these issues because they wouldn't have done what we did and our fix works for us better.
