Using stainless screws in Thor ACE's

I have commented on this before. I have a 2012 ACE 29.2. Thor used zinc coated screws and many have rusted out. I have replaced most with stainless screws, sometimes having to drill out the old screws because the heads were bad. How much more would it cost Thor to use stainless screws in their Class A products? Since I buy only stainless for use around the farm, I know the answer is not much - probably something on the order of an extra $25, an insignificant cost for something as expensive as a Class A, but something that would help hold the value of their products. I told Thor about this several years ago, but I'd be surprised if they listened. I assume they're still using zinc plated steel screws that rust out.
