Hey Ray, to mount things to the walls including the interior/ exterior wall I used the smallest (#46 I think) wall anchor I found out Home Depot. The interior of the walls are foam core, drill carefully as to not drill through, lightly push in anchor, screw into it and the "wings" spread forming a relatively strong an anchor.

BTW, thanks for the suggestion on dinette storage with vetalaton and 12vdc plug, completed mine this weekend.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll be busy this "off" weekend working on the electrical cabinet and adding a 12volt like you did.  Additional storage is an ongoing quest.

======================

I used the "tap and listen" tecnique to determine whether the wall was hollow or not. Then I drilled holes and insterted small gray screw anchors that I got at Walmart (<1" long). Worked like a charm.

So you have both the flip-down tv and the bigger one?  We just took our 1st trip with our 177 and are now trying to figure out the best way to add storage--thanks for the ideas!

==========================

Yes    ...the little flip-down TV isn't bad when we're back in bed. But generally, if I put my head on the pillow it's "lights out" so to be honest we really don't watch it much. Nice to have it for a DVD/Movie sometimes.

The vents look like a good idea.
