Mystery Carriage Bolt and nuts

After moving our 2017 Allegro Bus 40 Sp yesterday I found this carriage bolt and nut in our driveway. I found the 2 other niuts at different times. Any Idea where or what they may of come off of ? The rounded head of the bolt is shiny black.

They may not have "come off" of anything - just construction debris left over from manufacturing. The bolt with the shiny black head should give you some idea of where to look but if the nut was attached like your photo, it would be construction debris.

The bolt was about a foot away from the nut when I found it which leads me to believe they fell off about the same time. Thanks

Looks a little short but the only carriage bolts we have on our coach (SOB) hold the sofa bed to the slide.

I have similar bolts holding the basement floor to the under deck supports and also similar bolts holding the basement slide-out trays to the floor. I don't know how long mine are as I've never had occasion to pull or replace one.

Place them in a zip lock bag and save them.............then you will NEVER need them]

Throw them away and next week you will find where they go.


Actually.........most likely just construction 'debris' as suggested
Factory workers do NOT have time to pick up any dropped items....just grab another one and move on. Time is of the essence.
(And some just like to leave 'items' behind to drive the new owners nuts!)
