Lug nuts should be torqued to spec prior to each days departure. One should also note stud stretch. There are no recommendations of any additives/lubricants to studs, but that they be clean, rust-free and with threads in best condition. I keep a dedicated torque wrench for trailers (and with other tools).
This is such a cool thread . . . I feel the OP's disappointment personally so much was I excited at reading it. I believe that the future holds a great deal of room for economical travel. Our economy, climate change, you-name-it. There are already a great number of people "on the road" for reasons personal & business . . it will only increase. As fuel prices go up -- again -- this topic will have real resonance.
