I just trailered Roam (2008 R-25) for 1400 miles. Some of the road sections were well-potholed. When we arrived, I found one of the set-screws for the sport rack on the cockpit floor. It had vibrated loose. I reinstalled it, and then went around with a hex key, tightening the other set-screws for the sport rack and bimini. Several were slightly loose. I have added this task to my annual maintenance list, and suggest that you do likewise. It only takes a few minutes.
 
I have had a set screw from the cabin door handle fall out at my feet. I was glad I was there to hear it, or never would have found it back. Check both inner and outer door handle set screws. I put blue locktight on them now.
