I need to know what size stainless steel screws to use to replace my old screws.    And is there a u tube to show just where all the screws are?

It would be about as easy to look at the trailer to find all the screws as it would be to find and watch a youtube video about it, if one even existed. 

And yeah, take a few samples to a good hardware store or big box home center...they will probably have what you need.

So is corrosion of screws in an Rpod a common issue?

Rust is common to all screws made of steel when there is moisture available.  I have had 2 FR trailers and they don't seem to be out of the ordinary, insofar as rust is concerned.  If the screws are rusting where there should be no moisture, it's an early warning sign that water is getting into where it shouldn't.  Parts of the screws that are exposed to the outside will normally show some rust if not powder coated or painted.  If the shafts of the screws are rusting, you may want to try to figure out where the moisture is getting in and fix it.  If it's coming in through the screw hole, then take the screw out, coat the threads with marine sealant caulk, and replace them.  If it's coming in through some other source, then you'll need to track it down.
