Apologies for resurrecting an older thread.
One thing I "discovered" after losing the lug bolts and wheel on a pop-up camper I was pulling is that little trailer lug bolts are supposed to use a thread locker chemical (like loctite blue). The ones at the camper dealer actually come pre-treated with a dry form of loctite on the bolt. That is in addition to being properly torqued to a fairly high number. Mine were supposed to be 85 lb ft and that is with the thread locker treatment.
