For light weight stuff, sticky back hooks work great.  For any use of adhesive backed foam, whether hooks or tape, be sure you are putting it where you want.  It's very difficult to remove the sticky backed foam without damaging the wall covering.

My wife is the Queen of Command Hooks! I am a horizontal filer. She is a vertical filer. When camping, there is usually something hanging on all of them.

We have never had a failure.

If you can't find the aluminum frame for attaching your hooks or screws, then you can try using a combination of 3M  double sided VBH heavy duty foam mounting tape and a short screw.  We used that in our Pod and never had a problem with anything coming lose.  We mounted some IKEA metal boxes in the galley and towel racks in the head.  I even used the towel rack as a "grab bar" in the head with no signs of it working lose.  But if what you want to hang on the wall is heavy, take it down before you hit the road and put it back at your destination.

I have found that you can see the staples that the manufacturer used to attach the wall panels to the frame on the interior walls. So look close to find them and that shows where the interior wall frame is. In our 195 we needed hooks in the bathroom we installed a nice board with 4 towel/robe hooks on the wall behind the toilet and is very firmly attached to the wall. Be mindful of the path of plumbing and electrical that may reside inside any wall you attach things with screws and the length of your screws. For the light weight things the stick on hangers and Velcro hangers may be fine, I would be sure they are placed where you want them to stay as they may be hard to remove without doing damage to your wall coverings (in the 195 it is wall paper in some areas).

We use the Velcro Command strip hangers for all our pictures (2 or 3 per picture) and we have a big fairly heavy cribbage board that we have hung with 4 of the heavy duty Velcro strips and the only time the board comes off the wall is when my wife wants to teach me a lesson in cribbage (then it goes back on the wall Ouch ) and we have never loss anything in our travels and we don't take anything down for travel.  Hope this helps.

We use the 3M Velcro hangers.  No need to take things down to tow the camper.

I have had some success with the super heavy duty command strips.  They are like a hard velcro. It took several of them but I got a cute mirror to stay up in my bathroom.

I am using, successfully, 3m Command hooks all through my 'Pod.  But, I don't leave anything on the hooks when moving.
