I'd like to install some aluminum brackets in my aluminum trailer. Should I use stainless steel screws? Should I use aluminum rivets? Are aluminum rivets all aluminum, or do they have other materials in them? Thanks for any input you have.

As I know, aluminum does not have anti-corrosion properties, so it's best for you to use stainless steel screws. As for me, they are stronger than aluminum and do not corrode, unlike other materials. When I was doing repairs on my villa, I needed to fix the roof firmly and I also needed stainless steel bolts. I thought for a long time whether they would be stronger than aluminum or titanium and came to the conclusion that it was necessary to take a risk and buy stainless steel bolts. In addition, then there was a sale on them on the Skrooz website, where I often buy building materials, so I did not hesitate to order these bolts. After a while, I realized that I was not mistaken in my choice, so I advise you to buy them.
